Student officers invited to PTC webinars

2 January 2025

Student officers can find out more about the Police Treatment Centres (PTC) by signing up for an exclusive webinar.

The PTC is a registered charity supported by voluntary donations from the police family. The charity provides two treatment centres where serving and retired police officers can receive treatment following an illness or injury, with the aim of supporting their return to better health. The centres are in Harrogate and Auchterarder in Perthshire. There is also a remote physiotherapy service.

Almost 4,000 serving and retired officers attend the treatment centres each year and most receive intensive physiotherapy. Others seek support with stress-related conditions or anxiety and depression as part of the psychological wellbeing programme.

The webinars, which will be held over a series of dates this year (2025), will aim to give student officers details of the support the centres offer.

Student officers who sign up with the PTC within three months of joining the Force do not have to start paying for their subscription until 12 months from the date of joining, although they will be entitled to apply for treatment during this time.
