Biography
A proud Southampton girl, Carly was halfway through a degree in Biochemistry when she got a job as a care assistant and realised her passion for nursing. After graduating in Biochemistry Carly joined the NHS as a Health Care Assistant before training as a nurse.
Carly trained as a nurse at Southampton University, qualifying in 2007, and has worked continuously at local NHS trusts since then, additionally qualifying as a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse – Health Visitor in 2011. Carly joined Solent University in 2022 as a lecturer in Nursing.
