On 19th November 2025, the NHS revealed a 10 year strategy for mens’ health.

As part of the strategy, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) will team up on the Premier League’s Together Against Suicide initiative and smash the stigma around mental health

Men with prostate cancer will also benefit from improved care through the strategy, alongside £3.6 million investment in suicide prevention projects targeting middle-aged men.

Other commitments in the Men’s Health Strategy include:

  • Investing £3 million into community-based men’s health programmes, designed to reach those most at risk and least likely to engage with traditional services
  • Men’s health training for healthcare professionals through new e-learning modules and resources
  • Workplace health pilots with EDF Energy through the Keep Britain Working Vanguard Programme to support male workers in male-dominated industries
  • Enhanced lung disease support for former miners, with increased investment in the Respiratory Pathways Transformation Fund in areas with significant former mining communities
  • Funding research to help prevent, diagnose, treat and manage the major male killers and causes of unhealthy life years in men
  • A £200,000 trial of new brief interventions to target the rise in cocaine and alcohol-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths, particularly among older men.

Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, said:

“For too long, men’s health has been overlooked. There has been a reluctance to accept that men suffer specific inequalities and hardships.

The fact is that life can be really difficult for men in today’s society. Men are dying nearly 4 years earlier than women, and suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for men under 50.

This strategy marks a turning point – the first time we’re taking comprehensive, co-ordinated action to address the health challenges facing men and boys.”
