AN ADORABLE doctor-in-the-making from Dunfermline is teaching others how to stay safe.

Aoife Adam is only five but she's already providing advice on how to avoid the coronavirus.

She designed a poster encouraging everyone to wash their hands properly as well as drawing rainbows to make people smile.

Her mum, Fiona, is a senior oncology research nurse based at Queen Margaret Hospital and she believes Aoife will follow in her medical footsteps.

She told the Press: "She loves all things medical and wants to be a doctor or a dentist.

"She's been in our research office and knows the job we do.

"Aoife's really interested in the coronavirus and I think she feels as though she's an honorary member or mascot of the department.

"She wants to be a doctor and then I can help her as her nurse. That's her plan, but hopefully by the time she's a doctor, I'll be retired!"

The Bellyeoman Primary School pupil has "every bit of medical kit going" and even knows CPR.

Fiona said: "She's really after a defibrillator but they don't make toy defibrillators.

"She's only five but she watches videos on YouTube all about CPR. She'll then carry it out on all her bigger dolls.

"She knows all the lingo and she also watches a children's programme on TV called Operation Ouch.

"These two doctors explain everything in simple terms for kids.

"One day they'll go with an ambulance crew to someone's home and other times they'll go to a theatre and watch someone having a tonsillectomy, for example.

"She learns all these very big words. She loves it."
