How
Clown Doctors work in partnership with medical professionals to divert children during painful procedures, calm and distract in emergency, encourage and assist during occupational therapy and physiotherapy and improve the quality of life of some of the most vulnerable members of our community; sick and injured kids.
Using humour therapy Clown Doctors lighten the hospital environment, helping parents, family members, hospital staff and most importantly – patients!
Why
Have you imagined being sick or injured in hospital? It isn’t great. You are surrounded by unfamiliar people, smells and medical equipment. You are away from family, friends and the comfort of your home – subjected to poking, prodding, tests and painful treatments. You also have no say over this.
Clown Doctors are able to take some of this away and make hospital an OK place to be! They assist in the emotional healing and empowerment of patients and ease the stress of their families and hospital staff.
