In 1931, the President of the British Paediatric Association, Dr Bernard Scheslinger, attended the 'Save the Children Union Meeting' at the Hague.Since then, the British Paediatric Association has consistently been represented internationally, and sought to establish relationships with other paediatric societies. Over the course of it's history, it's members have attended international conferences and undertake projects to improve child health overseas, notably in developing countries.
The College continues to play a role in international child health, and as of 2011, the College has had a dedicated international team to initiate projects overseas.
