The Police Treatment Centres is a registered Charity providing treatment and support, including intensive, police-specific, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, for injured and ill Police Officers, Retired Officers, and Police Staff.
Police Officers are very often the first responders to serious accidents and dangerous incidents, dealing with death, distress and aggression. They have to see and hear things that other members of the public would simply not be able to cope with (- Martis Media/Police Oracle). The Police Treatment Centres provide police specific treatment for any on or off duty injury. Whether it is a physical injury, or stress, depression, anxiety related, treatment is provided to help them recover and aid their return back to work.
Almost 4000 members of the Police Family attend one of the two Treatment Centres each year at either St Andrews, in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, or Castlebrae in Auchterarder, Perthshire.
By making a monthly donation, the PTC can support you during difficult times. Your donation gives you access to free, expert, police-specific treatment, at one of our two centres or remotely, regardless of whether your injury occurred on or off duty.
We are a registered charity funded almost entirely by donations from the police family. We need your support.
The Police Treatment Centre, St Andrews, (previously known as the Northern Police Convalescent Home) officially opened in 1903 and still occupies the same site on Harlow Moor Road today.
In 1996, a major new development took place with the opening of a second rehabilitation centre in Auchterarder, Perthshire. Castlebrae was purchased from private owners for £630,000 in 1994.
PUKDS is a self-funded not-for-profit registered community interest company, as such we rely on the kind donations of the public and funds raised through sales of merchandise and sponsorship opportunities. Every donation is greatly appreciated.
