Professor Hyett trained in obstetrics, maternal and foetal medicine in the UK before working in Australia. He has led research groups which with a strong clinical focus and a continual dedication to research to maintain the highest standards of obstetric care. His main research interest is to predict the risk of pregnancy complication, either at an early stage (12 weeks), or immediately before delivery (at 36 weeks). He is currently leading the SWS Obstetric Research Unit to conduct research that predicts the risk of pre-eclampsia, a disease harmful to both the mother and foetus. If a risk is found at 12 weeks’ pregnancy, simple treatments like aspirin may prevent the onset of this disease
