Melanatal vs CEPAS 2026

Melanatal hopes to equip birthing people, clinical staff and midwifery students with better knowledge of the signs and symptoms of a range of maternal and neonatal conditions on Black and Brown skin. The app also provides information about conditions that are more likely to affect Black and Brown mothers and babies, to prompt earlier detection and diagnosis. Melanatal includes medical illustrations produced by Chidiebere Ibe (Medical illustrator) and Ezra-Lloyd Jackson (App designer) paired with a range of information and in-app signposting to directly view related educational resources.

CEPAS 2026 – the Congress of the European Paediatric Academic Societies – will take place from 28–31 October 2026 at the Lyon Convention Centre in Lyon, France. As the new biennial meeting of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) and the European Society for Paediatric Research (ESPR), in close collaboration with the Global Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (GFCNI), CEPAS brings together paediatric professionals from across disciplines and career stages. Under the theme “From Neonates to Adolescents: Uniting Paediatric Professionals”, the congress offers a high-quality scientific and educational programme covering the full spectrum of paediatrics, with a special focus on neonatology. Participants can explore cutting-edge research, clinical practice, advocacy and paediatric training through scientific sessions, keynote lectures, pre-congress courses, workshops, poster presentations and networking opportunities. The CEPAS 2026 app is the perfect companion for your congress experience. It provides access to the scientific programme, speakers and session information, allowing participants to plan their congress experience and build a personalised schedule. The app also supports interaction and engagement throughout the congress, helping participants stay informed, connect with the paediatric community and make the most of their time at CEPAS 2026.
