What can everyday pharmacy practice do for men, and how can that care be delivered equitably across all backgrounds?In this episode, we speak about men’s health with two leading voices: Peter Baker (director of Global Action on Men’s Health) and Ade Williams (lead prescribing pharmacist at Bedminster Pharmacy in Bristol). It’s an honest and inspiring discussion.We explore the stark inequalities in men’s health outcomes – particularly in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mental health – and reflect on how community pharmacy is uniquely placed to help address these disparities. Ade shares practical examples of local initiatives (including health checks in pubs and barber shops!) while Peter offers a national and global perspective on the need for systemic change.ResourcesCPPE, Men’s health learning gatewayMen’s health forumProstate cancer UKThe Pharmaceutical Journal, How to conduct effective men’s health promotion in community pharmacyGlobal action on men’s healthFIP, Advancing men’s health through pharmacyWant more?
