This core value is captured by Our Credo, which defines the fundamental values that unite all Johnson & Johnson employees: we put the people we serve first.

The Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies is the largest and most diverse healthcare company, covering consumer healthcare, medical devices and pharmaceticals business segments. We are committed to continuous innovation, with a track record for developing a wide array of innovative healthcare products and solutions.

Innovation

Revolutionizing disease treatment. Three Johnson & Johnson drugs were granted an accelerated review time to approval (FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation). The drugs demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies early in clinical development, and FDA committed to expedited development of these breakthrough drugs addressing multiple myeloma, treatment-resistant depression and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We also developed the first drug with a novel mechanism of action for tuberculosis in over 40 years.

Innovation in surgery to save lives. Johnson & Johnson is committed to advancing surgical care with an extensive innovative wound-closure portfolio with over 200 different suture needles. A strategic collaboration with Google, Inc. focuses on the creation of an innovative robotic-assisted surgical platform capable of integrating advanced technologies and supporting surgeons in the operating room.

Predicting and preempting disease. We innovate through new approaches. Disease Interception (DI) intervenes earlier than today’s clinically accepted point of diagnosis to stop, reverse or inhibit progression to disease.

Global Impact

We serve millions of patients worldwide by addressing truly unmet medical needs. In 2015, the World Health Organization added 3 of our life-saving medicines to its list of Essential Medicines, bringing the total number of our medicines on WHO’s list to 8.

Our Ethical Code for the Conduct of Research and Development provides specific, global standards of conduct and behavior for physicians responsible for medical aspects of research and development.

The Yale Open Data Access (YODA) Project is enabling scientists around the world to gain access to our company’s clinical trial data. Johnson & Johnson is the first company to collaborate with and give decision rights to an independent third party to allow access to clinical research data and findings. This project aims to advance science and research the foundation of medical care.

Compared to clinical practice, or running a clinical department as I did in a previous role, at Johnson & Johnson we are all rowing in the same direction. As a practicing surgeon I was able to take care of one patient at a time. Now I’m able to take care of thousands of patients at a time with the decisions and products we bring to market.

I have been given great development opportunities - including the International Development Program (IDP), which involved a move to the US from Ireland to work for 2 years in the Global Medical Affairs group and then a cross sector move to Medical Devices. This is very rewarding role to work in.

The impact my work has provides personal satisfaction and benefit. Research alone already creates hope for patients with unmet needs.
