Prof Bill HAGUE

Obstetric Medicine

Womens and Childrens Health

The University of Adelaide

His contributions include the first robust demonstration of

the efficacy and safety of metformin in women with

gestational diabetes (the MiG Study) in collaboration with

Dr Janet Rowan from Auckland, published in the NEJM in

2008. He also founded the Obstetric Medicine Group of

Australasia (OMGA), and in 2009 became the first

Honorary Member of the Society of Obstetric Medicine of

Australia and New Zealand (SOMANZ), following theamalgamation of OMGA and the Australasian Society for

the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ASSHP), of which

he is a former President.

Prof Hague is involved in the

Australasian Maternity Outcomes

Surveillance System (AMOSS). His

clinical service work, teaching

and research achievements wererecognised by The University of

Adelaide with a promotion to full

Professor in November 2011.

This will be the 5th course of the successful and

well received series of Maternal Medicine

courses organised by the Department of

Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Singapore General

Hospital. Maternal medicine refers to the

management of medical disorders in pregnancy,

which are many, and this two course course

focuses on the more important and commonmedical conditions. Obstetric medicine is often

daunting to both obstetricians, who may feel

inadequately trained in general medicine, and

also to physicians who may be uncomfortable

with managing a woman with a constantly

changing physiology and a developing baby on

board.

This course is therefore aimed at both

obstetricians and physicians caring for pregnantwomen, hoping to put all at ease and dispel any

misconceptions about management so as to

optimise obstetric outcomes. As in previous

courses, we are very fortunate in having some of

the foremost international experts in Obstetric

Medicine . Our key speakers this time, Prof Bill

Hague and Prof Sandra Lowe both hail from

Australia, and between them have a considerable

experience in dealing with medical problems in

pregnancy.

This course promises to be intensive and

stimulating, and I look forward to seeing you.
