If you’re like many men, you understand the importance of doing regular maintenance on your car or your home.

You keep it looking good and fix up anything that doesn’t seem right quickly. At home, you regularly clean out the gutters, fix leaking taps or deal with the ever-growing list of issues.

So while you’re ticking off your “maintenance issues” why would you not also see your GP to get yourself looked over 😊

 

Taking care of yourself should be one of your highest priorities, and part of taking care of yourself is knowing when and what health checks to have.

Preventative medicine is cost effective and reduces the risk of illness and disease. Don’t be silly and wait for symptoms, get yourself checked now!

 

Booking into see your GP for a Mens Health Check is a form of benchmarking. It allows your doctor to review all the aspects of your health history and then create a personalised care plan based on factors such as smoking status, family history, employment environment, physical activity, diet and relationships. It’s also a chance to check immunity, blood pressure etc., and for the doctor to see you in a healthy state - it’s much easier to diagnose a problem if they’ve seen you when you are well.

 

You should book a Health Check every year your GP to stay on top of your health.
