Event details
Too many men feel misunderstood or disconnected in clinical settings and are navigating a health system not always designed with them in mind. Hosted by the RSM, this free webinar brings together global experts, sector partners across research, policy and healthcare and the voices of men themselves with real-world experience. Collectively, these experts will explore how social influence, external perceptions and digital environments quietly shape the health behaviours and attitudes of men - and how services can evolve to improve outcomes.
In collaboration with The Movember Institute of Men's Health, this half-day webinar explores how digital health and shifting norms are reshaping how men experience health and how care services can be developed to improve patient outcomes. As an organisation focused on translating evidence into action to improve men's health outcomes, challenging outdated norms and strengthening social connection, The Movember Institute of Men's Health brings a multidisciplinary approach spanning sector capacity-building, systemic change and a global perspective that ensures insight travels across borders making them an ideal partner for this event.
Additionally, this programme brings together four of the Movember Institute's leading research fellows and its Global Lead for Masculinities Research, drawing on work conducted across the UK, Australia and the US. Hear directly from the international experts behind the research who will present current evidence at the source and understand how findings from different cultural and healthcare contexts can shape effective and supportive practice.
Key topics
- How critical life moments, like fatherhood, create opportunities for health systems to improve service engagement.
- Insights into designing effective, inclusive and responsive health services.
- The value of a strengths-based understanding of masculinity.
- The role of digital spaces and online trends in shaping male identity, relationships and sense of self.
- Perceptions of masculinity and peer influence on male health behaviours and engagement with services.
At a moment when the digital world is reshaping how young men understand themselves, their bodies and their relationship with health services, the questions this programme asks have never felt more urgent. Bringing together the Movember Institute's leading research fellows from across the UK, Australia and the US, this free webinar offers a rare chance to engage directly with the international evidence and to consider what it means for the services we design and deliver based on a variety of different cultural and healthcare contexts.
