Outcome / Qualification etc.
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 Managerscourse has been developed by NHS TSET (the Technical Specialist Education and Training group) and is facilitated by the University of Leeds.
