After finishing the resident medical internship in Paediatrics in 1988 at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, I joined the Neonatology Department as a specialist (1990) and read my doctoral thesis. Since 1991, I am an associate lecturer in Paediatrics at the University of Barcelona. In 2001, I took up the post of the Secretary of the Resuscitation Group in the SENeo, and since 2007 I am one of the national coordinators. From 2004 to 2010, I was head of studies. In 2007 I took up a position on the Neonatology Management Committee of our Hospital, and since 2013 I am the head of the Department. In my experience, seeing how a team grows and establishes itself is one of my greatest personal satisfactions. On a personal level, the Baix Ebre region, unknown to many people, is my own little paradise.
