Well what is this week all about??

The 15 - 21 June is Men’s Health Week.

I guess men need a reminder every now & then ??

When was the last time you saw your GP.??

Have you been in the last 3 months - if not was it one of these common barriers??

• It'll cost too much?
• Don't have the time?
• It's probably nothing?
• Bit awkward?
• I'll deal with it later??
• I'll tough it out?

There is no doubt that women are so much better at getting in to see the GP than men so really this week is just a wake up call to all of us to say let’s make an appointment if we have not been in the last 3 months.

Also, before you go make a list of all the things you want to raise because most of us come out not having made a list & forget to raise something that you should have.

And make sure you get a referral for a blood test for all the GP can think of including for prostate cancer.

Thank you Philip Cornish OAM for last week's reflection on Wednesday 17 June 2026.
