This invited event is in response to the Department for Health and Social Care’s recent call for evidence to inform a men’s health strategy for England. I was part of Health@Lancaster Roundtable on Men’s Health on Wednesday 9th July to gather expert input for a new national men’s health strategy for England.

The discussion focuses on how ideas about masculinity affect men’s health – like why men might take health risks, avoid seeking help, or struggle with health services. I was invited as a key contributor because of my experience and knowledge in this area. My input will help shape a response to government and explore new opportunities for working.
