At The London Gamma Knife Centre we treat patients who have been diagnosed with abnormalities in or around the brain. Worldwide, over 500,000 patients have already been helped by this non-surgical procedure that delivers radiation therapy precisely and safely where it is needed.
The Gamma Knife offer patients a number of advantages over treatments such as microsurgery or standard radiotherapy. These include fewer post-treatment complications and faster recovery times.
Access to proven technology is not, however, the only reason why patients choose The London Gamma Knife Centre. In a system unique to the Centre, each patient is individually cared for by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals who specialise in treating their specific conditions. This ensures that your needs are met - without compromise - by experts with the latest knowledge and medical expertise. Team members - doctors, radiographers, physicists and nurse specialists - get to know you well and can deal personally with any questions or concerns at any stage from pre-assessment to discharge.
The London Gamma Knife Centre is owned by HCA International, a world-leading private hospital group working in partnership with Barts and The London NHS Trust - highly respected NHS teaching hospitals in the City and east London. Indeed, Barts is the longest-established hospital in the country. Barts and The London hospitals produce some of the best clinical outcomes in the UK - evidenced by one of the best survival rate records in the NHS.
