Men's Health Kickstart - Power up your Health

Published: 13 January 2026

Healthwatch West Berkshire is currently running a project and survey called “Men’s Health Kickstart - Power Up Your Health”, which is focused on improving men’s physical and mental health, increasing early prevention, and reducing stigma around seeking help.

Men are less likely to attend NHS Health Checks, more likely to delay seeking help and at higher risk of late diagnosis for heart disease, prostate cancer and mental health issues. Many also feel confused about NHS services and unsure where to turn for support.

The survey allows men to share their experiences, barriers and needs. This insight will be used to inform local NHS services and influence future improvements in men’s health support.

The survey is completely anonymous.
