This month, we’re shining a spotlight on the physical and mental well-being of men and boys. Men’s Health Month is all about raising awareness of preventable health issues, encouraging early detection, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. Whether it’s , starting a conversation about mental health, or making small changes to improve your fitness – every step counts. Let’s work together to support the men in our lives to live longer, healthier lives.

PSA Testing
As part of our Men’s Health Awareness Month we are offering opportunistic PSA (prostate specific antigen) blood testing to eligible men. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing is a blood test that measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels can be a sign of prostate cancer, but can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions like an enlarged prostate or infection. PSA testing doesn’t diagnose cancer but helps identify men who may need further investigation. It’s important to discuss the benefits and limitations with your GP before having the test, especially if you’re over 50 or have a family history of prostate cancer. #MensHealth #PSATest #ProstateCancerAwareness
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than you might think – and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It can be a sign of other health issues and is treatable.
Speak to your GP if you’re experiencing symptoms. You’re not alone, and help is available.
Pick up a leaflet at reception or view it online.
Mental Health Matters
Men’s mental health is a vital but often overlooked issue. Many men struggle in silence due to stigma, societal expectations, or fear of seeming weak. As a result, men are less likely to seek help and more likely to die by suicide—three out of four suicides in the UK are men. It’s important to break the silence, encourage open conversations, and remind men that it’s OK to ask for help. Talking saves lives, and support is always available. 💬 #MensMentalHealth #ItsOKNotToBeOK

Peyronie’s Disease
