Watch adorable video helping Edinburgh sick kids understand PPE - 'Underneath, it's still just us'

An adorable video from the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity is helping to reassure children who might be intimidated seeing people in personal protective equipment.

In the video, children dressed in uniforms that kids are more used to seeing, like an astronauts outfit and firefighters uniform, explain what PPE is for.

Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity have asked their friends who wear PPE that children are used to seeing to help reassure them.

Posting the cute video on Twitter, the charity said: "Hospital is scary for children just now with the doctors & nurses in their special PPE.

"We've called on our friends who wear PPE children are used to seeing to reassure them."

The video has been seen over 1000 times since it was posted earlier today.

The video includes examples from real life, like a scientist, as well as from fiction like one little girl dressed in a ghostbuster outfit to "protect her from ghost slime".
