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 https://www.tset.org.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.
