Formed in April 1992, the original MOMMO (Manx Organisation for Motorsport Medical Officers), had a membership of nearly 40 Doctors working on the Isle of Man. There are now only 9 but they have been joined by 10 of the Islands Paramedics, necessitating the change of name to MOMMOP.

MOMMO was formed because there was, at the time, a need for Isle of Man Doctors, who acted as Medical Officers at motorsport events or were involved in the care of injured competitors, to be registered in one organisation.

MOMMO used to be Immediate Care Scheme No. 76 in BASICS (The British Association for Immediate Care). but as from April 1999, MOMMOP has been an "Affiliated Group" within BASICS

The last official returns to BASICS showed that in 1997, members of MOMMO (as it was then) were involved in treating a minimum of 101 competitive motorsport casualties all of whom had attended the A & E Department of Nobles Hospital.

Since 1992, 33 MOMMOP newsletters have been produced with a distribution list of nearly 800 individuals, clubs, government departments etc. involved in Motorsport.

The cost of BASICS Affiliated Group membership and the MOMMOP newsletter is borne principally by the Rob Vine Fund, Registered Charity No 954 [ Isle of Man ] as a service to Motorsport on the Isle of Man with a contribution from the Island's Department of Tourism and Leisure.

MOMO (with only one "M") happens to be the Motorsport Association's recognised radio call-sign for Medical Officers and stands for "MObile Medical Officer".
