YAIRN Advanced
Targeted at higher trainees (ST4-ST7) focusing on advanced techniques, subspecialty training, and leadership development in anaesthesia practice.
YAIRN ICM
Specialised program for Intensive Care Medicine trainees at all levels, focusing on critical care principles, advanced organ support, and complex patient management.
YAIRN Exam
