TIME FOR A MAN CHECK

​

Have you had your medical checks lately?

Getting to know your GP and getting advice can help identify any underlying health problems early. These types of health issues you really do want to know about sooner rather than later.

 

The purpose of these visits is to:

• screen for medical issues

• assess your risk for future medical problems

• encourage a healthy lifestyle

• update vaccinations

• help you get to know your GP in case of an illness.

​

There are specific times when you should see your GP.
