NMHW2007 and the Gender Duty

The Equality Act 2006 has created an important new duty for NHS organisations: the public sector 'gender duty'. The Men's Health Forum, the leading voluntary organisation promoting a gender-sensitive approach to health, is uniquely placed to offer help and information to enable organisations to prepare for and comply with the duty.

NMHW is a great way for you to work towards meeting these new legal requirements. Taking part in the week can help your services reach more men and improve outcomes in your area.

The Forum provides many services that can help you all year round. Our membership scheme is popular with PCTs. We run events, produce publications and provide training and consultancy services. Many of these are included in MHF membership or are discounted to our members.

For more information about what the gender duty means for your organisation and the services you provide, and how we can help you, visit our gender duty pages.
