MGT provides specialist training courses in the safe use and management of medical gas cylinders and equipment. Over the course of the last five years there have been nearly 300 serious incidents that directly relate to the inappropriate administration and management of oxygen. A recent Rapid Response Report issued by the National Patient Safety Agency emphasises the importance of oxygen safety in hospitals. Aimed primarily at nurses, midwives, hospital porters, pharmacy staff, dental staff and care home workers, our courses ensure that all personnel involved in the handling of cylinders and associated equipment are well versed in every aspect of safety that relates to their particular environment.
