The Growth of Regional Branches
At the MIOT AGM held in the South Thames Region in November 1992, at Grove Park Hospital, a decision was made to create regional branches to devolve its activities closer to where the doctors lived/ practised. Since, many Tamil doctors were living and practicing in the southeast, the MIOT committee decided to form the South Thames branch of MIOT.
Following on from the formation of the South Thames region committee, other branches were inaugurated in the mid 1990s. MIOT North Thames regional branch was opened covering North London and Essex. At the same time the Northern region committee branch covered all areas north of Bedfrodshire. By late 1990’s, the North Thames and Eastern region committees were established to cover areas including Hertfordshire, Cambrdigeshire and North London. The Wales branch was inaugurated a decade ago in the 21st centure.
