Wayne Birkett

Wayne Birkett is a survivor of the 2023 Nottingham attacks in which Valdo Calocane fatally stabbed three people. He is newsworthy due to his recent criticism of the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, the organization responsible for Calocane's mental health care prior to the attacks. Birkett has expressed concerns that a similar incident could occur if improvements are not made to mental health services in the region. He has called on the health secretary, Wes Streeting, to address the perceived lack of progress and changes within the trust. His advocacy highlights the ongoing concerns and questions surrounding the circumstances that allowed Calocane to commit the attacks and the need for systemic changes to prevent future tragedies.
