England’s first men’s health strategy: will system design still leave some men behind? (The Kings Fund, 19 February 2026)

Summary

In this blog Paul Galdas, Professor of Men's Health at University of York, reflects on the implementation of the Men's Health Strategy for England. He argues that if the strategy is to make a difference, its impact will depend less on changing men’s behaviour and more on how health systems are designed to respond, particularly for those experiencing intersecting disadvantage.
