The Police Treatment Centres

The Police Treatment Centres (PTC) is a registered charity supported by voluntary donations from the police family primarily in the Northern forces of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but also from British Transport Police, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary and the Ministry of Defence Police.

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. The charity also offers 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.

Subscribing to the PTC
All student officers will receive their first 12 months’ subscription to the PTC free of charge.

The treatment centres are available to all serving West Midlands Police officers, PCSOs, Special Constables and detention and custody officers. Retired officers can also sign up at a lower rate.

Any serving officer who had previously been donating to Flint House was automatically transferred to the PTC from 1 January 2021.

If you are not currently subscribing to the PTC please visit their website where you can also find the sign-up forms.

Almost 4,000 serving and retired officers attend the two centres each year with most receiving intensive physiotherapy. Others seek support with stress-related conditions or anxiety and depression as part of a Psychological Wellbeing Programme.
