Dr Arun Castro is Medical Director at TheTourDoc.com & RoadieMedic.com
After experiencing career-burnout working in London's Emergency Rooms, he revived his career by working as a freelance doctor at some of the UK’s largest festivals & stadia.
Time spent working the British festival-medical scene at Glastonbury, Womad, Reading & Download amongst others, brought him greater awareness of the challenges of tour life. In response he set up RoadieMedic.com to address the unmet healthcare needs of artists and the wider touring community.
During the pandemic he collaborated with Music Industry Therapists Collective (MITC), providing a chapter & medical editorial towards their forthcoming book “Touring & Mental Health.”
Arun in addition provides clinics for the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM).
