Men’s Health Awareness Week – 13–19 June – Time for your MOT

This week is the annual Men’s Health Awareness Week, which runs from 13 to 19 June. Developed by Men’s Health forum this week aims to highlight health issues men face. This year’s theme is ‘Time for your MOT’. The focus over the last couple of years has greatly been on the pandemic, which may have meant other illness or conditions have not been high on anyone’s to do list. Now is the time to shift that focus.

Our cars get regular MOT’s so why not use the same principle for our minds and body The message from the Men’s Health Forum is a simple one: it's time for your MOT:-.

• Take notice of what is going on in your body and mind. 
• Do the Men’s Health Forum's quick and easy DIY Man MOT
• Get yourself a copy of the CAN DO manual which will also be online soon, a FREE download manual collecting together all the great ideas for things you can do to boost your mental wellbeing. 
• Get an NHS Health Check NHS Health Check - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
• Go and see your GP or use NHS 111 if you're concerned about any symptoms

If health issues are affecting you in the work environment, you can discuss your concerns with the wellbeing team. An occupational health review may be just what is needed, undertaken by our external occupational health provider Thrive. A review could highlight recommendations for improvement. You can contact the wellbeing advisers individually or by team email wellbeing@methodistchurch.org.uk.
