The UKPTS is a not-for-profit membership organisation which exists to promote evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to public policy and treatment.
Our aims are:

- To provide considered, and evidence based, comment on psychological trauma on behalf of the membership in order to aid those who might be affected by traumatic events
- To provide a forum for health professionals that lead clinical traumatic stress services to meet and share best practice and informal peer supervision
- To provide members with access to quality, affordable CPD events that will support the continuing development of best practice in the field of psychotraumatology
- To promote practice, guidance and policy which has as its aim the alleviation of suffering as a result of psychological trauma through dissemination of evidence based prevention, early detection and treatment
- To maintain a close relationship with the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and other organisations with an interest in traumatic stress
