How work influences health

Men still have poorer health outcomes than women. Ian Peate discusses how employment status can have a lasting negative impact.

The theme for this year's Men's Health Week (2 to 15 June) organised by the Men's Health Forum focused on men, health and work. Men's Health Week aims to continue to improve awareness of avoidable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of illness among men and boys.

Understanding and acknowledging the health issues that men might face is important not only for them but for their families and the wider community. Nurses, midwives and health visitors play a central role in helping men to achieve optimum health and wellbeing. Nurses can also play a greater role in improving men's health.
