Well Man: Physical Health
This workshop explores the unique pressures on men’s health and shares strategies to enhance personal wellbeing and support others.
Leading men’s health charity Movember believe that ‘The state of men’s health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier’. This workshop delivered by a leading medical expert and Dr, looks at the particular challenges and risks that men face from a physical perspective throughout their lives, and how this (and other things) can impact on our health.
The workshop explores some of the common health challenges which men face including Prostate & Testicular Health, Cardiac Health and Mental Health. The workshop provides an understanding of the risk factors including family history, environmental factors, smoking and alcohol consumption; the symptoms; and also crucially actions that can be taken to reduce risk and prevent these illnesses.
The workshop will equip participants with the know-how to perform self examinations, and empower them with the confidence that should they notice anything ‘odd’ to see a Doctor. Participants will also leave the workshop equipped with the knowledge of the actions they can take to reduce their risk.
