What is Stereotactic Radiosurgery?

What to expect?

Delivering Consultant-lead gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery treatments for 15 years

Staffed by a caring and experienced team, the Thornbury Radiosurgery Centre (TRC) is housed within Circle Thornbury Hospital in Fulwood, Sheffield and has been delivering Consultant-lead gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery treatments for 15 years, undertaking the treatment of over 3,000 patients.

As the first city in the UK to clinically start using gamma knife treatment, Sheffield has a group of talented Consultant Neurosurgeons that are very experienced in this area, several of which work within Thornbury Hospital with the TRC team. We undertake treatment of private and NHS patients, and through the NHS we form part of the National Health Service England Stereotactic Radiosurgery Supracentre for the North of England, which allows us to work in close partnership with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Our work with private patients has already covered multiple countries across the globe

With many people keen to see our high-profile Specialist Consultants due to their extensive knowledge in the use of stereotactic treatment. To discuss treatment, the Consultants can offer outpatient appointments either in person, via telephone or Zoom/Teams to make the process as flexible and straightforward as possible. During the consultation, the viability of stereotactic radiosurgery will be discussed alongside any alternative treatments or approaches, ensuring you are well informed and can make the most suitable decision for you.
