This Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery stands with clinicians, researchers, and patients worldwide in raising awareness of cervical cancer and the importance of early detection, prevention, and access to both high-quality care and advanced treatment options.

Awareness saves lives. Through education, screening, vaccination, and ongoing research, we can collectively reduce the impact of cervical cancer and support those affected. Early detection through cervical screening and HPV vaccination remains central to reducing cervical cancer incidence in the UK.

Innovations in precision medicine—such as stereotactic radiosurgery—continue to transform cancer care, offering highly targeted treatment options while prioritising patient outcomes and quality of life. Here at the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery we are able to offer highly conformal treatment for patients who develop cerebral metastases, sparing surrounding normal brain tissue and preserving cognitive function and quality of life. Radiosurgery is usually completed as a day case, allowing our patients to return to their loved ones as soon as possible and continue with their systemic therapies with minimal interruption.

By working in partnership with NHS colleagues, researchers, and patient communities, we remain committed to improving outcomes and supporting women at every stage of their cancer journey.

World Radiography Day takes place on the 8th of November celebrating 130 years since the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen.

This weekend, we proudly join healthcare organisations across the world in recognising the essential contributions of radiographers to patient care.

At the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery, our Therapeutic Radiographers are at the heart of delivering precise, non-invasive treatment using the Elekta Esprit Gamma Knife. Their expertise ensures that patients with complex neurological conditions—such as brain metastases, AVMs, and trigeminal neuralgia—receive safe, accurate, and compassionate care.

But radiosurgery is never a solo effort. We also want to acknowledge the Diagnostic Radiographers who are a vital part of our wider multidisciplinary team. Their skill in acquiring high-quality imaging is fundamental to our planning, treatment targeting, and ongoing patient monitoring.
Together, our radiographers:
* Drive precision in treatment
* Ensure patient safety and comfort
* Support collaborative decision-making
* Contribute to the delivery of world-class, patient-centred care

💙 To our dedicated imaging professionals—both in therapeutic and diagnostic radiography—thank you for the role you play in advancing radiosurgery and improving lives.

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM🏥

At the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery, we take great pride in delivering timely, coordinated care to all our patients.

This commitment is especially vital for those referred with metastatic brain disease, where efficient, multidisciplinary management is crucial.

To keep our Referral to Treatment (RTT) times as prompt as possible, all metastatic referrals are discussed without delay at our Neuro-Oncology MDT. In preparation, our expert neuroradiologists and physics team reviews the patient’s latest imaging alongside previous treatment plans using the latest Gamma Plan software. This step ensures a thorough understanding of each patient’s radiological history, particularly where prior radiosurgery has been delivered.

The Neuro-oncology MDT meeting brings together neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, radiosurgeons, oncologists and CNS Nurses—enabling rapid, comprehensive decision-making and the development of the most appropriate, individualised treatment plans.
Once patients are accepted for radiosurgery, our dedicated administration team promptly arranges an outpatient appointment with one of our experienced consultants.

We are proud to consistently see 100% of patients within 7 days of their MDT discussion and acceptance. During this consultation, expert assessments are carried out, the risks and benefits of treatment carefully explained, and a personalised treatment plan created in collaboration with our highly skilled Therapeutic Radiographers.

All treatments are delivered well within NHS England RTT targets—typically within 7 days of the outpatient consultation—demonstrating our unwavering commitment to patient-centred, efficient care. Many radiosurgery procedures are completed as single-session, day-case treatments, allowing oncology patients to resume systemic therapies with minimal disruption.

This responsive pathway ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care without unnecessary delays—because in cancer treatment, timing can make all the difference.
