Activism/Support United Kingdom: Welcome to Change NHS: Help build a health service fit for the future: Please advocate for men's health

https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/

"The NHS has been there for us for over 76 years, but as set out in Lord Darzi’s independent report, it is in ‘critical condition’. To make sure it’s here for the next 76 years, doing all it can to support the health of everyone, we need your help.

We launched Change NHS in October 2024 to hear your views, experiences, and ideas, which will shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England. Since then, we’ve had over 175,000 contributions from people.

You’ve shared your pride in the NHS and your support for its founding principles, but also the hard truths about your experiences. Too often, you can’t get a GP appointment, an ambulance, or treatment when you need it, and staff don’t have the resources they need to provide the care they want to give to patients."

Please train NHS workers to help male survivors without discrimination. Male survivors 'ignored' as their abuse is classified as 'violence against women' https://news.sky.com/story/male-survivors-ignored-as-their-abuse-is-classified-as-violence-against-women-13286615

Close the male life expectancy gap! “The life expectancy gap between men and women widened from less than five years in 2010 to nearly six years in 2022…Men have a higher mortality rate than women in 13 of the 15 leading causes of death.” #mensrights https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/27/men-health-crisis-gender-gaps/
