Supporting

Men’s Health

This November

Every year, too many men suffer in silence from
undetected high blood pressure, cancers caught late, or
mental health struggles left untreated. November gives
us a chance to interrupt that silence. With Movember
and International Men’s Day (19 November), your
th
pharmacy can become a place of visible support, not
just for prescriptions but for prevention, conversations,
and real change.

Why your pharmacy matters more than ever
Men are far less likely to engage with health services until things
go wrong. Many avoid raising health concerns especially around
weight, sexual health, emotional wellbeing, or urinary symptoms
for fear of embarrassment or being judged as weak.
The statistics tell a stark story:

4.2M 66%

adults in England live of men aged 16–24
with undiagnosed with hypertension
high blood pressure. are undiagnosed.

These aren’t just numbers they’re lives affected by the “invisible
risk.” As community pharmacies embedded in towns and
high-footfall locations, you’re uniquely placed to surface these
hidden conditions early.
