Milestones magazine

Milestones is our quarterly member magazine. Each edition brings you all the latest College news, along with in-depth features and regular items on life in paediatrics in the UK and around the world.

Autumn 2026: Digital health

Welcome to the autumn edition of Milestones, with a special focus on how digital innovation is changing paediatrics, from education and simulation to the way children and young people experience healthcare.

Among this issue’s features, we look at how artificial intelligence is shaping today’s educational landscape and how it can support learning experiences. We also enter the B-Hive immersive environment, where technological innovation is helping children prepare for procedures, manage anxiety and engage in therapy and play.
