Milestones magazine for members: Digital health – autumn 2026

Welcome to the autumn edition of Milestones, which is available to read online now. This issue focuses on digital innovation and its ability to shape paediatrics, from how AI might be used across the education landscape to the many ways technology can support children and young people’s experience of healthcare.

Among this issue’s features, we look at how artificial intelligence influences education today and the ways it can be used to support learning experiences, as well as showcase the B-Hive immersive environment, where technological innovation is helping children prepare for procedures, manage anxiety and engage in therapy and play.

Beyond digital health, this edition asks us to look more widely at equity and leadership. Dr Rebecca Rhodes – incoming convenor at the International Child Health Group – reflects on decolonising child health, challenging us to examine power, representation and partnership in our everyday work, while Dr Guddi Singh asks, what is the role of child health professionals in a society where so much illness is socially produced?
