Men's Health Week

Men's Health Week raises awareness of the health issues that affect men disproportionately and focuses on getting men to become more aware of health problems they may have or could develop and gain the courage to do something about it.

We've been through a lot these past couple of years. Covid has not gone away - not at all - but we are beginning to live with it.

To do this, we need to be at the top of our game, physically and mentally. So, for this year's Men's Health Week, which runs 13-19 June it's time for you, me and men across Leicestershire and Rutland, to give ourselves an MOT.

For partners who want to engage in Men's Health Week:

• Encourage the men you work with to give themselves an MOT by sharing the messages above. Social media, posters and shares will be online soon.
• Get hold of copies of our Man MOT and Man MOT for the Mind manuals
• Schedule our popular Man MOT training for your group, workplace or organisation.
• Consider training up Men's Health Champions to empower men in your organisation or group to have healthy conversations about health.
• Join our campaign for a men's health strategy
• If you already offer a service like blood pressure testing or an online tool like the NHS's What's Your Heart Age app or Prostate Cancer UK's Risk Checker, then consider using the campaign to encourage more men to use it.
