Prof Geeta Menon has been appointed as the first women chair of the BAPIO. She takes over from the current chair Dr JS Bamrah on 1st of February. Geeta has demonstrated her amazing talents through her career progression from starting as an SAS doctor, progressing to be a consultant and the then professor of ophthalmology! Her appointment as a post graduate dean for the south London deanery is a big (!) feather in her cap. BAPIO President Dr Mehta said “I personally I know that Geeta is hugely respected at the HEE and NHSE. BAPIO is fortunate to have Geeta as the next chairperson of BAPIO. I know JS is proud to see Geeta as his successor”.
