News release: New technology will boost North Bristol Trust’s neurosciences service (doc)

Cutting-edge robot technology that enables neurosurgeons to deliver sophisticated neuro-implantable devices with pinpoint accuracy will soon be in place at the UK’s North Bristol NHS Trust. The Friends of Frenchay Hospital have agreed to provide the £270,000 funding for the neuromate® robot made by Renishaw plc. In addition to this, they are going purchase a new surgical planning station which will replace the manual method that has been relied upon for Deep Brain Stimulation cases in particular.
