01.01.2022 Mens health is an important topic and not spoken about enough. Studies show that males have a harder time speaking up about their health concerns than females do, particularly regarding mental health issues. We believe that encouraging more men to prioritise their health is of utmost importance, even more so as this month is Movember, which strives to raise awareness on mens health topics. Mens health does not just affect men, in fact, it affects their wives, mothers, da...ughters and sisters. This means, we all must step up and reach out to all those men in our community that we care about and encourage them to take action. At Walker Street General Practice, our Men’s Health Clinic is open and here to help all those men in the community that need our support. Led by our experienced male GPs, our clinic is here to support all those men in the community who need our support.
