Eastwood Park’s 2017-18 training dates now available
We have medical gas courses to suit the various healthcare roles that come into contact with medical gases including: Competent and Authorised Persons, Quality Controllers, Nurses, Porters and Designated Nursing Officers.
These courses include a mix of theory and practical elements applicable to specific roles.
Regulatory compliance
The current HTM 02-01 brings together all the relevant ACOP’s, and other related guidance e.g. BCGA (British compressed gas association) into one document.
By following the HTM recommendations, organisations can meet the requirements of the law.
HTM 02-01 for medical gas pipeline systems is in two parts. Part A covers the design, installation and commissioning of an MGPS and Part B covers the operational management.
We also deliver medical gas training from our fully equipped Dubai training facility.
