"Working in conjunction with the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Imperial College London (ICL) has created a virtual hospital in the 3D virtual world of Second Life and a series of 'machinima' documentary films that describe what healthcare of the future could look like. This is an experimental, innovative and efficient means of communicating complex healthcare messages as well as illustrating what healthcare of the future could look like. The design of the virtual hospital in Second Health is based on the principles and recommendations outlined in the recently published report, Healthcare for London: A Framework for Action
(http://www.healthcareforlondo n.nhs.uk/framework_for_action. asp)
This machinima tells the story of Mr Brown, his heart attack and the emergency and specialist care he could receive.
