This year’s Men’s Health Campaign (better known as Movember) is focusing on the theme of “Speak Up, Save Lives”. This theme encourages men to open up about their struggles, seek support, and take proactive steps toward better health. The campaign aims to break the stigma around mental health and promote regular health checks, especially for cancers that affect men (prostate cancer and testicular cancer).
Why It Matters: Men are often less likely to talk about their health or seek help. Every conversation can make a difference.
Early detection saves lives. That’s why it’s vital to take advantage of tools like the NHS Health Check - a free check-up for adults aged 40 to 74 to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or dementia. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference.
