Nottingham NHS Trust Investigates Staff Over Data Breaches Linked to 2023 Attacks Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust is scrutinizing staff members following unauthorized access to medical records of victims connected to the June 13, 2023, attacks by Valdo Calocane. The assailant, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020, killed three individuals Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates and severely injured three others, including Wayne Birkett and Sharon Miller, after stealing a van and striking pedestrians. An internal investigation revealed that 11 NUH employees were dismissed for inappropriately accessing the victims’ records, with four identified as nurses, one as an "other registered professional," and six as "other staff." Additionally, four doctors, five nurses, one registered professional, and two staff members received final written warnings. The trust initially focused only on the deceased victims’ records, overlooking the surviving victims until their solicitor contacted NUH in March 2025. NUH’s medical director, Manjeet Shehmar, testified at a public inquiry that she was unaware of the surviving victims during the initial probe, admitting the oversight only after being prompted. She acknowledged relying on media reports for details of the attacks rather than direct institutional knowledge. The inquiry also highlighted systemic failures in Calocane’s mental health care, with the trust acknowledging errors in his treatment. The investigation into staff misconduct remains ongoing, as the trust re-examines disciplinary actions in light of the inquiry’s findings. The attacks and subsequent breaches have underscored critical gaps in both data security and victim support within the NHS.
