The Police Treatment Centres

Welcome to the Police Treatment Centres

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.

Feedback

It was like the best hotel with everything being considered on a daily basis. The staff are a credit to this wonderful establishment. Everyone I have had the pleasure of meeting has and will change me going forward.

The whole stay was amazing. I have never been able to switch off and deal with issues and reset like this in whole of my adult life.

State of the art establishment with old school ethos…...a dying breed in this world, nice to see you again.

Everything has been absolutely amazing. Every care has been taken to ensure we can have the best and most relaxing time to work on ourselves.
