Second Life
If you want a more detailed impression of what we do for patients, and why we do it, you can watch our 7 minute animated video. This shows you how the clinic functions via a realistic representation of all our activities. This is based on the virtual world "Second Life", and is an introduction to what you can experience in LOC's Second Life site. If you have any difficulty seeing this video, you can also view it on Youtube.

The third is the Second Life site itself, on which you will find a virtual replica of LOC, where 'you' can walk around our clinic at your leisure, and experience a virtual consultation or treatment. This is currently the cutting-edge of website simulations.
Ultrasound scans, CT Scans, MRI Scans and PET Scans are frequently used to diagnose and monitor the treatment of cancer. Many of our patients at the London Oncology Clinic tell us they are confused about what the scans involve and why they are used. This video, made in the virtual world Second Life, is designed to explain the difference between the scanners, why they are used and what happens. After viewing this video you can go to Second Life, where you can walk around the scanners at your leasure and see them used.
By accessing any one or a combination of these, we hope you will feel quite at home before you have even set foot in LOC. We hope these impressions will answer any questions or concerns and give you the confidence to come and see us.
