June 13th to 19th is #menshealthweek

Shield Services Group is joining the Men’s Health Forum in supporting Men’s Health Week 2022.

After a challenging couple of years, we are all now learning to live with Covid but to do that we all need to be in good health.  That’s why this year we are asking men to give themselves an MOT.

With the pandemic taking our attention, Men have taken their eyes off of other conditions such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.  With NHS Health Checks having restarted as of April 2022, now is an ideal time to get checked out.

Claire Morgan, Group Director of Safety, Health, Environment & Quality (SHEQ), commented, “Culturally, there has always been a strong reluctance from men in the UK to go and get checked out for medical conditions. The pandemic has made this even worse, so we are urging men everywhere to go and get an MOT and make sure that they are fully aware of their own health.  It’s likely that we will see a resurgence in Covid cases during the next winter, so we should all do our best to be ready for this.”
