πŸ‘¨ Men's Health Matters – Make Your Health a Priority

Men often put their own health last, but regular check-ups can make a real difference. Many common health conditions develop without obvious symptoms, so early detection is key.

A routine health check with your GP can help monitor:
βœ”οΈ Blood pressure
βœ”οΈ Cholesterol
βœ”οΈ Blood sugar (diabetes risk)
βœ”οΈ Heart health
βœ”οΈ Mental wellbeing
βœ”οΈ Skin health
βœ”οΈ Prostate health (where appropriate)

Whether it's been one year or ten since your last check-up, now is a great time to take charge of your health.

Looking after your health isn't just about youβ€”it's about being there for the people who matter most.

🟑 World Hepatitis Day | 28 July 🟑

Hepatitis can affect anyone. Knowing your status can protect your health.

World Hepatitis Day is a reminder of the importance of testing, early diagnosis and treatment to help eliminate viral hepatitis.

Viral hepatitis can cause inflammation of the liver and often has no symptoms in its early stages, meaning many people may not know they are infected.

You may benefit from speaking with your GP if you:
βœ”οΈ Have never been tested for hepatitis B or hepatitis C
βœ”οΈ Were born in, or have lived in, a country where hepatitis B is more common
βœ”οΈ Have risk factors for hepatitis C
βœ”οΈ Think you may have been exposed to viral hepatitis

The good news is:
πŸ’› Safe and effective vaccines are available for hepatitis B.
πŸ’› Effective treatments are available for hepatitis B and can cure most cases of hepatitis C.

If you have questions about your risk or would like to discuss testing or vaccination, our team is here to help.
