Announcing a new world-leading cancer centre for the North, coming to Leeds in January 2027
Opening in January 2027, GenesisCare in Leeds: A new private state-of-the-art cancer centre at Thorpe Park, in Leeds, will transform how cancer care is delivered for patients across the North of England and Scotland.
We’re investing in this, the most comprehensive centre in our UK network, in response to unmet patient needs identified by our clinicians and to bring high-quality care and the latest innovations in cancer treatment to more people across the UK. This pioneering oncology and haematology centre puts that commitment into practice, giving specialists the facilities, technology and support they need to deliver personalised treatment alongside evidence-based care for patients’ physical and emotional wellbeing.
Partnering with leading clinicians across the region, we treat all adult cancer types, ensuring patients have access to expert, personalised care. Our national private multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) bring together some of the UK’s leading cancer experts, putting national expertise at the heart of each patient’s treatment plan.
Leeds centre under construction
The new centre in Leeds is an important addition to the GenesisCare network, expanding access to advanced diagnostics and innovative treatments for patients across the North of England and Scotland, including specialist services that are not widely available elsewhere. Crucially, it brings together regional clinicians and the expertise of our national network, enabling specialists to work collaboratively, share knowledge and shape care around each patient’s needs. Together, we can deliver exemplary care, helping patients and their families face treatment with confidence and supporting the best possible recovery.

The centre will bring personalised, advanced cancer care together under one roof for patients with all types of adult cancer. Comfortable outpatient areas will sit alongside modern, purpose-built therapy suites, consulting rooms and clinical spaces. Advanced imaging will include 3T MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT, while systemic therapy suites will offer the latest chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immunotherapy. Covering 3,250m², the centre’s services will include:
- Advanced Diagnostics including: 3T MRI, CT, PET-CT and SPECT-CT
- Lung Cancer Rapid Response Pathway
- Haematology
- Advanced radiotherapy including Elekta EVO CT-Linac and MRI-guided MR Linac
- Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT)
- Chemotherapy
- Immunotherapy
- Exercise medicine
- Penny Brohn wellbeing services
- Research & clinical trials
The centre in Leeds will bring together two of the world’s most advanced radiotherapy platforms, with both MRI- and CT-guided adaptive radiotherapy. This technology will enable clinicians to personalise radiotherapy in real time, adapting treatment to each patient’s individual anatomy and cancer. The centre will be among a small number of cancer centres worldwide able to offer adaptive radiotherapy using both MRI and CT imaging.
Adding our fourth MR Linac to our centre in Leeds, means we have the largest fleet of these machines in the UK. We’ve treated more than 2,800 patients on MR Linac’s across a range of tumour types including complex, difficult-to-treat tumours in the central lung, liver and pancreas.
Complementing our clinical services will be our GenesisCare signature approach to exercise, dietary advice and supportive care. Patients being treated at the centre will have access to a personalised 12-week prescribed programme of exercise medicine provided by specialist oncology physiotherapists, as well as on-site holistic support services such as mindfulness, reflexology and acupuncture. This approach combines personalised care with evidence-based support to help patients manage their treatment and side effects, maintain their physical and emotional wellbeing and recover as well as possible. Patients will also have access to support to manage menopause-related symptoms and sleep difficulties, helping them feel more comfortable and better supported in their day-to-day lives.
As the UK’s leading private cancer care provider, we’ve been delivering cancer care in the UK for more than 17 years. This will be our 16th and largest outpatient cancer centre in our UK network, housing two of the world’s most advanced and sophisticated radiotherapy platforms. The centre will truly revolutionise treatment for patients with cancer, setting a new standard in cancer treatment and effective care which will positively impact patient outcomes in the North of England and Scotland.

My colleagues and I are excited by the prospect of being able to treat our patients in the new GenesisCare centre in Leeds. As a clinician who specialises in urological cancers, I’m aware of data that has demonstrated improved outcomes for patients with prostate cancer if they can access MRI-guided radiotherapy, so it is excellent that this technology will be available locally in 2026.

There is a great deal of excitement amongst the oncology community over GenesisCare’s planned expansion of its national network to Leeds. This will benefit patients right across the North. Having diagnostics, systemic therapy (including chemotherapy and targeted therapies), cellular therapy and adaptive radiotherapy all seamlessly delivered in one comprehensive centre will be incredible for patients.

The new GenesisCare Leeds centre will be a game changer for my patients with pancreatic and prostate cancers. Pairing the rapid diagnostics with quick access to chemotherapy and world class radiation technology will mean that patients live better for longer. I’m particularly excited about the plan to bring adaptive, MR-guided radiotherapy to the north of England, because it allows us to safely give higher doses of radiotherapy to localised tumours and thereby improve outcomes.

As a clinician who treats people with pancreatic cancer, I’m very conscious that waiting too long for high-quality diagnostic procedures can negatively impact their survival. We will leverage GenesisCare’s unrivalled experience from right across the UK to design a service that achieves much better outcomes for patients in Yorkshire and beyond, so that they get the tests they need and quickly move on to treatment under the care of a national expert.
