Hello and Welcome to The Clown Doctors
Our Clown Doctors visit sick children in hospitals all over the North East of England, to support them through what can be a traumatic and frightening time. On this website you will be introduced to all of our Clown Doctors, and you can find out which hospitals they go to. You can also find out how to get involved and support us.
Enjoy!

"The difference the Clown Doctors have made to children and their families can be felt wherever they work, and we are immensely proud to have such a high-quality arts-in-health programme in the region. As the Clown Doctor Programme enters its fourth year of delivery I would like to commend their work in bringing laughter and smiles to hospitalised children in the North East." Professor Stephen Singleton, Medical Director, Regional Director of Health and Chief Knowledge Officer.
