Dr. Louise Milne

Dr Louise Milne has been a Consultant Paediatrician in the NHS since 2015. As a mother of two boys, she became increasingly aware of the growing influence of screens and social media on children’s wellbeing. This personal concern led her to explore the link between smartphone use and poor mental health. The evidence she discovered closely reflected what she was seeing every day in her clinical work with children and families.

Dr Milne is passionate about providing parents with balanced, practical information to help them make confident, informed decisions about screen time and digital life. She is available for Papaya talks in the Portsmouth area, where she shares her paediatric expertise along with practical, family-focused guidance.
