Endoscopy

Meet Josep


In this series we meet members of the Endoscopy team from different regions around Europe. This month we talk to Josep, our Regional Manager for Spain and Portugal.

josep1. What is your name?

Josep.

2. What is your current position with Cook Medical and how long have you been in this position?

After 25 years of experience working in endoscopy, for the last 8 years, I have been Regional Manager of the Endoscopy Division at Cook Medical for Spain and Portugal.

3. What is a typical day like for you?

A typical day? Umm, there’s no such thing in my line of work. One day you can be focused, along with specialists, on searching for the most suitable treatment option for a patient, the next you could be attending a training course or specialised congress, and the day after that, you could be working with the financial director of a hospital or clinic to find the best options to be able to collaborate together.

4. What, in your opinion, makes Cook Medical a unique company?

The main characteristic of the company is that it is a 100% private enterprise, as it belongs to the Cook family. This allows, on many occasions, to put product quality or innovation before other criteria, such as production costs for example. This, together with the ethics that the company provides to all processes or interactions with professionals in the medical sector, makes Cook Medical a truly different company.

5. What about Cook Medical makes you most proud?

This answer is closely related to the previous one: The ability to put patients’ health before criteria that are exclusively commercial, and most importantly, the transmission of these values to all employees in the company.

6. We are constantly striving to be innovative in Cook Medical. Tell me how you see this in action in the field.

This results in a company that develops new hemostasis modalities, keeping in mind how to help doctors facing this emergency situation. [A company] that years ago developed a wide variety of endoscopic ultrasound needles. [A company] that was a pioneer in fields as complex as ERCP, which maintains its catalog stocked with a wide variety of biliary stents. [A company] that created a Zenker diverticuloscope to be able to safely treat patients suffering from this illness, or that developed a family of metal stents that meet the primary demands of specialists. This is Cook Medical in the field, a company that works alongside specialists while thinking about the health of our patients.


josep1. ¿Cuál es tu nombre?

Josep.

2. ¿Cuál es tu posición actual en Cook Medical y cuánto tiempo hace que ocupas este cargo?

Después de 25 años de experiencia trabajando en endoscopia soy, desde hace 8 años, el director de la división de Endoscopia de Cook Medical para España y Portugal.

3. ¿Cómo es un día típico para ti?

¿Un día típico?… Ufff, no hay días típicos en este trabajo. Un día puedes estar focalizado, conjuntamente con los especialistas, buscando la opción de tratamiento más adecuada para un paciente, al día siguiente asistiendo a un curso de formación o congreso especializado y un día después tratando de encontrar junto al director económico de un hospital o clínica las mejores opciones para poder colaborar conjuntamente..

4. ¿Qué es, en tu opinión, lo que hace a Cook Medical una compañía diferente?

La característica principal de la compañía es que se trata de una empresa 100% privada, perteneciente a la familia Cook. Esto permite, en muchas ocasiones, anteponer la calidad o innovación de los productos frente a otros criterios, como por ejemplo los costes de producción. Esto unido a la ética que la compañía imprime a todos los procesos o interacciones con los profesionales del sector médico, hacen de Cook Medical una compañía realmente diferente.

5. ¿Qué te hace sentir más orgulloso de Cook Medical?

Esta respuesta esta íntimamente relacionada con la anterior: La capacidad de anteponer la salud de los pacientes frente a criterios exclusivamente comerciales, y lo más importante la trasmisión de estos valores a todos los empleados de la compañía.

6. En Cook Medical nos esforzamos constantemente en ser innovadores. Explícanos como se traduce esta innovación en el campo.

Se traduce en una compañía que desarrolla nuevas modalidades de hemostasia pensando en cómo ayudar a los Doctores ante esta situación de emergencia, que hace años desarrollo una amplia variedad de agujas de ecoendocopia, que fue la pionera en un campo tan complejo como la ERCP, que mantiene en su catálogo una amplia variedad de drenajes biliares, que creó Un diverticuloscopio de Zenker para poder tratar a los enfermos aquejados de esta enfermedad de una forma segura o que ha desarrollado una familia de prótesis metálicas que cubren las principales demandas de los especialistas. Esto es Cook Medical en el campo, una compañía que trabaja junto a los especialistas pensando en la salud de nuestros pacientes.
