Aoife’s Clown Doctors are professional actors, trained to work in the hospital setting. They do the most amazing work visiting and entertaining vulnerable and sick children on the wards at Crumlin and Temple Street Hospitals. This is not only beneficial for the children but also the stressed and anxious parents who get to see their child laughing.
