In a move to further transform and position itself as a major center for research, clinical care and education in the UAE and the region, Corniche Hospital has appointed a world-renowned physician Maggie Blott, M.D., FRCOG, as Chief Academic Officer and Senior Consultant.
Dr. Blott has spent most of her distinguished career in the United Kingdom, where she served as a consultant in obstetrics and maternal medicine, as director of the labour ward, and as honorary senior lecturer at the Institute for Women’s Health and University College London Hospitals. There, she, helped to train new generations of obstetricians and gynaecologists. She recently completed a three-year term as vice-president for education at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) where she was responsible for curriculum design and implementation and many other aspects of post-graduate medical education and training.
The largest maternity hospital in the Emirates providing facilities for more than 9,000 births and 200,000 outpatient visits a year, Corniche Hospital is owned and operated by SEHA and managed by Baltimore, US-based Johns Hopkins Medicine International.
“We are honored to welcome Dr. Maggie Blott to our team,” said Ronald Lavater, chief executive officer of Corniche Hospital. “Education has always been at the forefront of the Johns Hopkins philosophy, and we look forward to having Dr. Blott lead our efforts to train the next generation of UAE-national obstetricians and gynecologists. At the same time, her appointment furthers Corniche Hospital’s vision of promoting excellence in medical research and training. Her experience in research and academia along with her enthusiasm and passion for her job will be a tremendous asset to our hospital and its patients.”
Dr. Blott served as a consultant in the UK for fifteen years. Dr. Blott’s expertise and passion for work demonstrates Corniche Hospital’s commitment to providing world-class medical care to the UAE residents and beyond.
“I am privileged to be part of the dynamic, enthusiastic and highly-skilled team at Corniche Hospital,” said Dr. Blott. “The implementation of a comprehensive and structured training programme will enhance the hospital’s vision to provide world-class medical care to the community and the region. I look forward to working with the medical, midwifery and nursing colleagues to further develop high-quality services for the mothers and newborns of Abu Dhabi and to contributing to positioning Corniche Hospital as a world-class center of medical care and training.”
Dr. Blott graduated from Newcastle University in 1982 and completed her post-graduate training in London, UK.
