18 July 2023

Women’s health is the focus of a new online programme which has just been launched by the Police Treatment Centres (PTC).

The PTC Online Women’s Health Programme provides officers who subscribe to the centres with access to fitness, nutrition and wellbeing advice from a team of experts.

Derbyshire Police Federation secretary Kirsty Bunn said: “Officer wellbeing is our priority and I would encourage our members to take advantage of any resources which may benefit their health and fitness.”

Members interested in using the service will receive an initial dual assessment with fitness and physiotherapy specialists followed by a detailed treatment plan including signposting to appropriate services or resources.

The PTC team can offer support with:

• Ante and post-natal fitness
• Menopause
• Pelvic floor
• Nutrition
• Weight management
• Fitness training
• Signposting to virtual resources including PTC educational videos.

The PTC team is made up of rehabilitation specialists with a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the demands of the policing role. 

It can help women stay in their role or facilitate a confident return to work as well as enjoying their home life and hobbies.

Access is secure, confidential, and fast and members can get more details from the PTC website.
