Men's Health Week
ABOUT MEN'S HEALTH WEEK
In celebration of Men's Health Week 2021, the School of Nursing and Midwifery's Gender Equality Team have organised a number of events and initiatives which will focus on men's health.
Men's Health Week, which is celebrated Internationlly, aims to:
- Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages
- Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices/activities
- Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males
The theme for Men's Health Week 2021 is 'MAKING THE CONNECTIONS' and everyone is advised to:
-
CHECK IN with yourself to see how you are coping/feeling, and to identify any health worries that you might have.
-
CHECK UP on your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues to see how they’re doing and to offer support.
-
If you notice anything worrying or which needs medical attention, CHECK IT OUT and seek information/help/support/treatment as soon as possible.
