Medical Gases for Service Managers
Study Day - Tuesday 19 March 2013
This one day Study Day is intended for senior managers who are involved in or are responsible for the supply, provision and quality of medical gases in their hospitals.
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.
