The Police Treatment Centres (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 assisting their return to better health. The centres are St Andrews, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and Castlebrae in Auchterarder, Perthshire. They also offer 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.
