Welcome
Our service provides specialist assessment and precision stereotactic radiosurgery for carefully selected patients with brain tumours, vascular malformations and functional neurological disorders. Care is planned within a multidisciplinary academic hospital environment, with emphasis on safety, accuracy and clear patient guidance.
Gamma Knife treatment is non-incisional and is commonly completed as a day-care procedure. Every patient requires individual clinical and imaging review to determine whether radiosurgery is appropriate.
