The inquiry has heard after Wayne Birkett was struck by the van Valdo Calocane was driving, he was taken to the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre, then to an intensive care unit, followed by a major trauma ward and then a rehabilitation unit called Linden Lodge.

Wayne said all he could remember from Linden Lodge was being in pain.

"I didn't know why I was in pain, why my head was hurting.

"It was confusing. They wouldn't give me answers as to why I was there," he said.

His partner Tracey added: "It was a real struggle because he actually didn't understand why he was there, couldn't remember what had happened and he's woken up in this place and doesn't know what the place is.

"So he was really anxious and he can obviously see there's people around him in bed."

Fellow survivor Sharon Miller said she and her partner Martin (pictured below) had enjoyed camping, gardening, DIY and long walks before she was struck by a van in Market Street in Nottingham city centre on the day of the attacks.

Sharon previously said: "Since the attack, I don't like leaving the house.

"I get blood clots in my legs so I have to wear stockings for the rest of my life."

She added a scar on her leg was a "constant reminder" of what happened.

"My life's changed dramatically. My social life's gone out the window," she said.

Martin said since the attacks, he spent most days "making her feel safe, making her feel loved".

"That's all I can do," he added.

The couple have also delayed getting married until after any proceedings in relation to the inquiry are over.

Despite the lasting impact on her social life, Sharon said the attacks had brought her family closer together.

Wayne Birkett was one of three people struck by the van Valdo Calocane was driving on 13 June 2023. The triple killer stole the vehicle from 65-year-old Ian Coates after fatally stabbing him.

Wayne, 62, suffered a complex brain injury in the attacks and lost all memory of his life after being hit by the van in Milton Street.

Wayne previously said: "People walk up to me, people I've known for 20 or 30 years and I can't remember who they are."

He said he and his partner Tracey used to enjoy day trips together and family holidays.

"We've never really got round to just relaxing and being ourselves again and enjoying our lives as much as we used to," Tracey added.

Wayne Birkett and his partner Tracey Hodgson have been sworn in and started giving evidence to the Nottingham Inquiry.
