In the last two days, the World Health Organisation (WHO) have characterised the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic1. This is not something to be taken lightly, and in a time when the capacity of the National Health Service (NHS) will be tested, it is important to consider what role medical students can play in the crisis.
