Dr Glow is Interviewed on BBC Radio Solent

Our Giggle Doctors were busy on International Day of Happiness, raising awareness of the importance of laughter up and down the country. 

Julian Clegg, a presenter on BBC Radio Solent, spoke to Ann-Marie whose daughter Emily has been visited many times by the Giggle Doctors and to Dr Glow who regularly visits children at Southampton General Hospital. 

Ann-Marie explained:

‘Emily has had 40 admissions to hospital in the last three years so we do see the Giggle Doctors a lot… it makes a huge difference to her time in hospital’

The Giggle Doctors never know who they are going to meet when they visit hospitals and Dr Glow talked to Julian about the training all Giggle Doctors go through. The intensive training helps Giggle Doctors to prepare for the unknown situations they may face in hospital and to make sure that laughter, and all the benefits, are available to all children regardless of how unwell they are.
