Professor Bill Hague came to Australia in 1988 after training in the UK in Obstetric Medicine with Prof Michael de Swiet. He is one of only a very few with dual qualifications in Medicine and O&G. He initiated the Obstetric Medicine Group of Australasia (OMGA), which eventually morphed into SOMANZ, of which he was made the first Honorary Member. After contributing to the literature in many aspects of obstetric medicine, including the use of metformin in gestational diabetes and the diagnosis and management of hypertension in pregnancy, he now focusses on the investigation and treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). He chaired the writing group for the SOMANZ Consensus Statement on the diagnosis and management of ICP. He has recently been awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the RANZCOG for “transformative contributions to obstetric medicine, both in Australia and internationally, over more than three decades”.
