This week is Men's Health Week. Even today, too many men are dying young with around one in five men dying before the age of 65.

Across the UK, men’s mental and physical health is unacceptably poor. Men attribute to:
75% of deaths from su***de
76% of premature deaths from heart disease
68.5% of diabetic amputations
66% of alcohol-related deaths

The only way this will change is with better education and engagement in men's health services. This week we will focus on what local and national support is available.
