November marks global men’s health awareness month, and this virtual event was an opportunity for UHS staff, members and other NHS professionals to find out more about key issues relating to men’s health.
Sessions focused on prostate cancer and testicular cancer, with speakers raising awareness and encouraging men to speak up to improve outcomes in early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
There was also discussion on mental health, including how everyone can play an important role in supporting men’s wellbeing.
The agenda included presentations from Andy Bishop, founder, ManGang; Andy Moss, head of organisational development; Tim Dudderidge, consultant urological surgeon; Rebecca Cook, urology clinical nurse specialist; Rajitha Kamalakshan, senior clinical trials assistant and Sarah Oliver, cancer research sister, plus a speaker to be confirmed from Southampton Mental Health Network.
