Men’s Health Week (13-19 June), has the 2022 theme of ‘It’s time to break down the barriers.’
This Men’s Health Week, it’s time to focus on good health and break down the barriers that stop men from accessing routine check-ups, acting quickly on health concerns and talking about their health.
GPs are the first point of call if you’re concerned about any health issues or symptoms. Encourage the men in your life to visit their GP for any concerns.
This year, Healthy Male are focused on understanding the five key barriers that stop men from seeking medical assistance:
- Denial – hoping it’s not an issue
- Delayed information seeking
- Concerned asking for help is seen as weak
- Nervous or embarrassed to speak about your health
- Not sure what information to trust.
