Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity: Why do you wear PPE?

Summary

For a child, coming in to hospital can be pretty scary at the best of times, but it's especially daunting at the moment with all the doctors and nurses wearing their special personal protective equipment (PPE) for coronavirus.

Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity has created a video that explains, with help of some big and small superheroes, why various outfits – such as an astronaut's helmet or a firefighter's uniform – protect workers from different types of hazards. The idea is to help children in hospital feel more at ease while staff wearing PPE are caring for them.
