Overview

Medical Gas Supplies - Level 2 - Online Course - CPDUK Accredited.

Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's online Medical Gas Supplies training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers.

Medical gas supply systems in hospitals and other healthcare facilities are utilised to supply specialised gases and gas mixtures to various parts of the facility. Medical gases are widely used throughout hospital and community settings.

To ensure that medical gases are used safely, healthcare professionals need to be trained in the correct method of handling, setting up and using medical gas equipment. This helps to ensure that medical gases are safely administered to patients following the approved procedure. Health and social care organisations will also be meeting the legislative and regulatory requirements set out by UK authorities.

At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
