SL - 2007 - NHS

On November 21, 2007, the UK National Health Service held an event in both real life and Second Life to examine and discuss the future of healthcare. Speakers came from the UK, United States and Canada. These images show just a sampling of the people who attended. More information will be available from the Second Health website.

"England’s National Health Service (NHS) is under review: The ‘Our NHS our future’ review. The NHS is England’s publicly-funded healthcare system, providing the vast majority of healthcare in the UK, which is based on clinical need and not the ability to pay. The Review provides an opportunity to ensure that the future of the NHS is clinically led and can meet the challenges of delivering healthcare over the next decade.

As a key component of the Review, on the 21st of November there will be an International Clinical Summit on pathways to care, where 1500 invited clinicians and physicians will be meeting in real life in London. But you can follow the meeting in Second Life or via the webcast. In Second Life you will be able to register your own opinions and meet and chat with the speakers."
