Understand NHS military PTSD treatment pathways

NHS military PTSD treatment pathways can feel confusing — this book puts them on the map. Stand To explains referral routes (GP, veteran-specific services, IAPT and secondary care), expected steps, likely wait times and how military experience shapes clinical responses.

Written by Steve Barker for serving personnel, veterans and families, Stand To uses plain English and a military-tested tone: no jargon, clear checklists, mission drills and family support tools so readers can act with confidence.

Use this book alongside NHS appointments to ask the right questions, recognise appropriate treatments (talking therapies, trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, medication and specialist military clinics) and make informed choices about recovery and resilience.
