Men's Health Week

The annual Men’s Health Week is the week that ends in Fathers' Day. Get involved.

Do you want to have a say in deciding priorities for health research?

The NIHR Imperial Patient Safety Translational Research Centre want to hear from men, who are hugely underrepresented in their respondents so far.

We all expect our healthcare to be safe, but sometimes mistakes can happen that may put patients at unnecessary risk.

Please fill out our second survey asking patients, carers, healthcare staff and the public to rank priorities for research to help make care safer for adults with complex health needs. The list of priority areas in this survey was identified from the results of our first survey earlier this year.

The survey can be accessed here: https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dd4LawvmKayAyVf

Deadline: 12th November 2018.

People with complex health needs are those who have more than one illness or condition, or need care from more than one service, or care in more than one place.

The NIHR Imperial Patient Safety Translational Research Centre (PSTRC), who is running this survey, will host a workshop with the results of the survey to come to a consensus for the top 10 areas for research. PSTRC will widely publicise the results to encourage research funding bodies and research teams to address these questions. It will also do research in some of these areas itself.

Please contact Anna Lawrence-Jones a.lawrence-jones@imperial.ac.uk or 020 7594 3149 if you have any questions.

Please forward this message on to anyone else who might want to fill out this survey, and help us by sharing the survey on social media.

The Men’s Health Forum need your support

It’s tough for men to ask for help but if you don’t ask when you need it, things generally only get worse. So we’re asking.

In the UK, one man in five dies before the age of 65. If we had health policies and services that better reflected the needs of the whole population, it might not be like that. But it is. Policies and services and indeed men have been like this for a long time and they don’t change overnight just because we want them to.

It’s true that the UK’s men don’t have it bad compared to some other groups. We’re not asking you to ‘feel sorry’ for men or put them first. We’re talking here about something more complicated, something that falls outside the traditional charity fund-raising model of ‘doing something for those less fortunate than ourselves’. That model raises money but it seldom changes much. We’re talking about changing the way we look at the world. There is nothing inevitable about premature male death. Services accessible to all, a population better informed. These would benefit everyone - rich and poor, young and old, male and female - and that’s what we’re campaigning for.

We’re not asking you to look at images of pity, we’re just asking you to look around at the society you live in, at the men you know and at the families with sons, fathers and grandads missing.

Here’s our fund-raising page - please chip in if you can.
