St George's Hospital paramedics train in Second Life - the Guardian
Paramedic students at St George’s Hospital have been using virtual technology to help prepare them for the real life situations they could face when they qualify. The Second Life programme is a 3D virtual world where characters can create their own scenarios. The paramedic then arrives on the scene and must assess the situation. The students use the programme to treat patients by checking a pulse, dressing wounds and administering drugs and must decide whether to take them to hospital and write up medical notes by email which are then handed in to their tutors.
