NHS trust sacks staff for accessing attacks victims' health records
BBCAn NHS trust has sacked 11 members of staff for inappropriately accessing medical records of the Nottingham attacks victims.
Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and grandfather Ian Coates, were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane - who was diagnosed with paranoid schizoprehnia - on 13 June 2023.
It emerged in 2025 that staff at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust had accessed the victims' records without need, prompting an internal investigation.
On Thursday, NUH confirmed 11 members of staff had been dismissed, 12 had final written warnings and two had first written warnings. The trust said further investigations were ongoing.
It comes as a public statutory inquiry continues, examining the lead-up to the attacks and decisions and actions taken in the aftermath.
NUH confirmed the staff involved in the investigations included doctors, nurses, registered medical professionals, and admin and clerical colleagues.
