A pharmacy initiative to tackle men's health

摘要

On every measure of health, men fare significantly worse than women. Most of us are aware of Movember and how it raises public awareness of some of the biggest health issues faced by men. Since 2003, this men's health movement has raised ￡402m and funded more than 1,000 programmes, focusing on the biggest male health threats, with prostate cancer leading the list and this year physical inactivity being high on the agenda. The Movember Foundation works globally with academic and clinical institutions to set up programmes to improve men's health and this Movember sees the launch of the True NTH Exercise and Diet project in UK community pharmacies, funded by Prostate Cancer UK and the Movember Foundation and conducted by researchers at the University of Surrey.
