Unaware of Awareness Week

Yawn of the year so far would appear to have been the Prostate Awareness Week during March.  We failed to notice which week as did almost the entire British public.  There seems to be an awareness week for something or other almost every week which nullifies the whole point of the exercise.  Just for the record there is a men's cancer awareness week coming up - or have we just missed it?

New approaches are needed to deliver the important messages which the Awareness Week was attempting to get across. Messages like:

Do men avoid their doctors?  Yes.

Are many in denial of conditions they know they have?  Yes.

Do men pretend that there is nothing wrong with them when they know full well there is?  Yes

Ever thought about going to your GP for a "Well Man" check?  Well. think about it NOW.
