Leeds Gamma Knife Centre is based in the Institute of Oncology at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
St. James's Institute of Oncology (Bexley Wing), a National Health Service (NHS) hospital, is the largest cancer research hospital in Europe. [1] When the Leeds centre opened in March 2009, there were only four other centres in the UK which specialised in the treatment of brain disease by a Gamma Knife. It is home to the world's most advanced Gamma Knife – the £3m Leksell Perfexion, manufactured by Elekta. In January 2010 the centre hosted an international conference “Extending the Horizon: Advances in Gamma Knife Therapy” in which new treatment possibilities for the Gamma Knife came under the spotlight in the UK.

In 2011 Leeds Gamma Knife Centre began a relationship with Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to treat NHS and private patients from across all Ireland – ensuring continuity of care across the Irish Sea. [3]
