HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, Episode 4 - Men's Health

The fourth episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast focussing on Men’s Health is now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and on the HSE Health and Wellbeing YouTube channel.

In this episode, hosted by Fergal Fox, we hear from Dr. Noel Richardson on the subject of men’s health and about how masculinity can put limitations on men’s health and men’s help seeking behaviours. Noel is the Director of the National Men’s Health Research Centre in South East Technological University and has been working in the area of men’s health for over twenty years. Noel discusses a variety of men’s health initiatives that have been developed in recent years and the various partners who have supported and driven the work.

Noel also talks honestly about his own Parkinson’s diagnosis and how he became his own men’s health ‘case study’ as he shares his insights into how supports for men’s health need to be made as accessible as possible. For information on men’s health go to Men’s Health Forum in Ireland and the Engage Training website in conjunction with the Men’s Development Network.
