Amethyst Radiotherapy UK is a private healthcare provider offering stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) through Gamma Knife technology for both NHS and private patients in the United Kingdom.
The organisation’s headquarters is located at 42-43 Queen Square in London..[1]. It operates two Gamma Knife treatment centres: the Queen Square Radiosurgery Centre at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College London Hospitals UCLH, and the Thornbury Radiosurgery Centre at Thornbury Hospital, Sheffield [2].
Additionally, in partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust, QSRC provides SRS treatment for paediatric patients at The Children Gamma Knife Centre [3].
History[edit]
In March 2020, Amethyst Radiotherapy UK, a part of the Amethyst Radiotherapy Group, entered the UK healthcare sector through the acquisition of Medical Limited Solutions (MESL), which operated two Radiosurgery Centres in London and Sheffield [4] [5].
After the acquisition, Amethyst maintained its procurement contract with the National Health Service, and collaboration with University College London Hospitals’ NHS Foundation Trust, and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust [6].
Services[edit]
Amethyst Radiotherapy UK provides stereotactic radiosurgery in the form of Gamma Knife.
Gamma Knife[edit]
The Elekta Leksell Gamma Knife, developed in 1967 by Lars Leksell, Ladislau Steiner, and Börje Larsson, is a precise and non-invasive form of radiation therapy [7]. It utilizes up to 192 focused beams of radiation to target specific areas with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue [8]. This form of treatment is used for addressing metastatic brain tumours, benign brain tumours, neurovascular conditions and functional disorders [9] [10].
