We are happy to receive referrals for any of the procedures listed here. In addition, please read the following referral guidelines:-
MRSA - Please see the seperate section on our website to view our policy
Transport - As ALL of our surgery is performed as a day-case using local anaesthesia, it is essential that patients have transport to and from the surgical centre
Local Anaesthetic Suitability – patients need to be generally fit enough to undergo the proposed procedure under LA.
Chronic Illness - Most patients with chronic stable medical conditions will be acceptable.
Warfarin - Patients on warfarin are also accepted as long as there is no barrier to stopping their anticoagulation therapy for a few days pre-operatively.
Under 16s - We are unable to take referrals for children under 16
Mental Health – We are unable to take referrals for patients with unstable psychiatric/anxiety states.
Allergies - Previous severe allergy to local anesthetic agents would also be a contra-indication.
Disabilities/Access - please include any special needs the patient may have in your referral letter so that we may make necessary preparation to meet their needs. Probus Surgical Centre and the satellite centre at Morrab Surgery Penzance are both wheelchair friendly.
