ABOUT
The Clown Doctors™ Program
 The core project of The Humour Foundation™ is the Clown Doctors™,
bringing support, fun and laughter to sick children in hospital.
Clown Doctors work in partnership with health professionals. While doctors focus on the
sickness of the child, Clown Doctors focus on the health.
Clown Doctors aim to involve patients and families in a way that gives them a sense of control, in a situation where they may feel they have very little. For both adults and children, Clown Doctors respond to each situation with sensitivity, empathy and a bit of nonsense, treating each person as a unique individual.
The Foundation has over 55 professional Clown Doctors. All are highly skilled professional performers trained by The Humour Foundation™ to work in the hospital setting. The Foundation provides on-going support and professional development to ensure that Clown Doctors are well-nourished professionally and are able to perform to the best of their ability. All programs are supported by a rigorous Quality Assurance process, including regular reviews with host hospitals to ensure that the service is meeting the needs of the hospital.
