Medical Gases for Service Managers - FULLY BOOKED

The 2023 course is now fully booked, if you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive details of the next course please email cpd@healthcare.leeds.ac.uk

What will I learn?
This course will cover:

• the general provision of medical gases

• the legal position, roles and duties of personnel involved in the provision of medical gases

• a description of services and some potential problems and hazards

• a guided walk-through of the medical gas pipeline systems and cylinder management

How will I benefit? 
Medical gases are an essential part of modern medical therapy and treatment, but where do they come from, and how do they get to the patient? This is a subject and a task that tends to be taken somewhat for granted in most hospitals, but medical gases are medicines and as such are one of the responsibilities of chief pharmacists, matrons or senior managers in hospitals where pharmacists are not present. 

The Medical Gases for Service Managers course has been developed by NHS TSET (the Technical Specialist Education and Training group) and is facilitated by the University of Leeds.

For more information about TSET, visit their website.

This course is for you if you’re a senior manager who’s involved in or responsible for the supply, provision and quality of medical gases in your hospital.

The 2023 course includes:

• The importance of medical gases – how they are produced, properties and clinical uses

• HTM overview, roles, training and how the permit to work system works 

• Medical gases for pharmacy service managers

• Medical gas source equipment and reserve supplies

• Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) – walk through

• What can go wrong?

• Medical gas training and competency, reducing risk, improving efficiency and promoting best practice
