About us
Probus Surgical Centre has been providing NHS specialist day case surgery under local anaesthetic in a primary healthcare setting since 1995. In 2011 all providers were required to have an Any Willing Provider contractual status with the Primary Care Trust and to achieve registration with the Care Quality Commission; Probus Surgical Centre achieved both of these quality standards and proudly continued to deliver surgical services to the people of Cornwall and beyond.
Probus Surgical Centre carries out over 8,000 NHS procedures each year. The centre is within the Probus GP Surgery approximately midway between Truro and St. Austell. Parking is easy in our free car park which overlooks far reaching views of beautiful Cornish countryside.
We have great pride in our centre which offers a warm, friendly and relaxed environment providing a very high quality and professional surgical service.
