Historically

UTEC was established in 2009 by a very dynamic group of clinicians from Liverpool and funded by NSW Health.

This group was led by Amanda Hawkins, Richard Cracknell, Andrew Haig, and Stuart Watkins.

There was a much broader group involved over the launching process, see UTEC Report below.

Due to funding and logistic issues the UTEC went to ground for a hiatus.

The ECI held a strong interest in reinvigorating the UTEC course and principles and the Catalyst of the newly established EMUGs set the ball rolling.

There has been so many people involved in the UTEC 2016 which has not only served to make this a great resource but also there is a great deal of ownership across a number of places. We acknowledge these fine clinicians on the acknowledgements page and please take the time to view.

ECI has worked with its partners in this project:

EMUGs Chris Partyka, Brian O'Connell, Scott Flanagan (primaries)

The SAN Justin Bowra (and his band of US fellows)

HETI Jon Hayman

ECI Lee Blair

US Village Adrian Goudie, James Rippey, Greg Sweetman

US guru Kylie Baker
