José Manuel Blanco González

My vocation for Paediatrics stems from the internship that I completed as a student at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, which left a deep impression on me. In October 1999, I started working as a nurse at the Hospital, where I have remained up to the present. I was a nurse in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Centre. I combined this with working in the Emergency Medical System (SEM), Haemodialysis and Nursing Supervision Until October 2011. That year, I started my career in Management as a head nurse in a hospitalisation unit.
