Carly Le Marechal

Carly Le Marechal (she/her) is an experienced nurse who after working in acute and critical care, undertook further training in Health Visting and is now dual registered as an adult nurse and specialist community public health nurse (health visitor). As a health visitor I completed my master’s and for my dissertation completed a literature review (unpublished) exploring why mothers co-sleep with their infants, despite public health advice not to.

Carly worked for many years as a specialist safeguarding nurse, a role that incorporated the role of child death nurse. Working in safeguarding and regularly facilitating supervision led to a trust wide QI project on safeguarding supervision and training in restorative supervision and becoming a professional nurse advocate.

Carly’s research interests include exploring and improving the support offered to health staff following a child death and raising and broadening career aspirations of nursing and healthcare students.
