All our doctors have an interest in the health and wellbeing of men, but Dr Matthew Edwards and Dr Nadun Rubasinghe lead our Men’s Health Team.
Your health as a man is of vital importance to us at Highgate Hill Doctors, which is why regular check-ups are important.
Men have a higher risk of many illnesses such as heart disease, prostate cancer and lung cancer. They are less likely to talk about mental health issues than women they die earlier!
We enjoy focusing on preventive health and helping men move towards good health. We feel that if a man has his first GP visit in ten years with already established diabetes, it’s clearly been there for years. Had we seen him earlier, we may have been able to improve the risks and prevented or delayed the onset.
So whether it is your general health and wellbeing, how you are feeling about things or specific issues about how your men’s bits are working, the Doctors will make you feel comfortable and relaxed talking about all things health related.
Remember most men (and women) also qualify for the 45-49 year old check up that the government pays for. This can be a great opportunity to get things going in relation to preventative health. The 45-49 Year Old Health Assessment takes about an hour but is comprehensive. You will need to call and book with reception to ensure our nurse can arrange initial blood tests etc.
