We are delighted to have taken our very first booking through our new remote training service, a tailored “Using Medical Oxygen, Medical Air and Nitrous Oxide (Entonox) Gases Safely” course for a UK IVF clinic that we will deliver live over Microsoft Teams. It is an exciting milestone for us, and a great example of how our remote gas safety training brings expert, bespoke tuition to your team wherever they are.
Tailored training for a clinical setting
IVF and fertility clinics rely on a wider range of medical gases than many people realise, and using them safely is essential to protect both staff and patients. For this training brief, we have tailored the course around the clinic’s own gases, equipment and piped medical gas systems. Because the content is shaped specifically around how this clinic works, delegates will learn about the exact systems they use every day rather than sitting through a generic overview.
The programme is being delivered across more than one live session so that it fits around the clinic’s rota, allowing every relevant member of the team to attend without disrupting patient care. That flexibility is one of the quiet advantages of training remotely.
Why medical gas safety matters in a clinic
Medical oxygen, medical air and nitrous oxide each carry their own hazards. Oxygen is an oxidant that sharply increases fire risk in an enriched atmosphere. Nitrous oxide, including the Entonox 50/50 mix used for pain relief, brings occupational exposure risks that must be managed under COSHH. In addition, piped medical gas systems need to be understood and operated correctly by everyone who uses them, in line with guidance such as Health Technical Memorandum HTM 02-01. Training that reflects a clinic’s real systems helps staff recognise these hazards and apply the right control measures with confidence.
Why remote training over Microsoft Teams works so well
Our remote training delivers the same expert, interactive tuition as an on-site workshop, live over Microsoft Teams rather than pre-recorded. It removes travel time and cost, makes it straightforward to train several groups across different dates, and can be tailored just as thoroughly as an in-person session, right down to an organisation’s specific gases, workflows, and piped systems. For organisations that want genuinely bespoke content without the logistics of a site visit, it is a flexible and cost-effective option.
Whether you work in a clinical, laboratory, industrial or research setting, remote training can be built around the gases and systems you use.
