To address this issue we plan to host an online Zoom meeting, wherein we can share some examples of practice models and discuss the potential for new approaches.
There will be 3 presentations on different initiatives and what was achieved during Men’s Health Week in the past from different parts of the country - focusing upon a range of types of engagement followed by a fairly informal question-and-answer session with those present.
