Nice article from the BBC website about mens reluctance to come to the doctors for advice. We often find that guys turn up after weeks or months of illness… sometimes too late for us to help them if it turns out to be something serious.

As well as coming in for specific problems – if you are male and over 40 you could book an appointment for a general health check. We can find out what your cholesterol level is, do your blood pressure, and make sure you dont have underlying problems like kidney or liver disease through some simple blood tests. If you are a smoker we could also refer you to our smoking cessation clinic and give a prescription for nicotine replacement therapy.
