Dr Yasser Younis A Tolba is a Senior Consultant Intensivist and ECMO specialist, working in organ transplant and general critical care at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Riyadh. He is also Associate Professor at the College of Medicine, Alfaisal University.
Alongside clinical practice he directs and instructs on critical care, anaesthesia and pain courses internationally — programmes run with the Society of Critical Care Medicine in the United States, courses endorsed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and the Royal College of Surgeons' CCrISP course in the United Kingdom.

Approach
How the teaching is built
Four principles shape every course in the catalogue.
Bedside-first
Teaching starts from the decision you actually have to make, then works back to the physiology and the evidence behind it.
Team-wide
Material is pitched for doctors, nurses and specialists together, without diluting the clinical detail for any of them.
Kept current
Courses are reviewed and updated as guidance and practice change, and existing learners keep access to the revisions.
Teaching for your department?
Courses can be delivered to trusts, departments and training programmes as closed sessions, in person or online. Get in touch to discuss dates, group sizes and tailoring the syllabus to your team.
