Abstract
This editorial reflects on what happens to patients’ knowledge when it enters health professions education. Through the example of a patient-led verbatim theatre performance, it considers experiential knowledge, academic recognition and recontextualisation, and the ways in which patients’ knowledge may contribute to transforming the curriculum.
