Artistic team<\/h4><\/div>\n

The Doutores d'Opital are professional actors, clowns and musicians who always visit partner hospitals in pairs. We do not work with volunteer artists, because the hospital environment requires preparation, sensitivity and regularity. Those who join the team receive specific training for the hospital setting and keep training throughout the year, with more than 250 hours annually.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Support team<\/h4><\/div>\n

Behind the visits there are people who take care of communication, management, funding applications, human resources and everything that keeps the organisation running. If your experience is in one of these areas, we would also like to hear from you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
