Men’s Health Week: Putting Your Wellbeing First at Kingsbridge GP Clinics

16th June 2026

This week, on men’s health week it’s a timely reminder that looking after your health isn’t just important, it’s essential. Too many men delay seeking medical advice, ignore early symptoms, or put their wellbeing behind work, family, and daily pressures. At Kingsbridge GP Clinics, we’re encouraging men of all ages to take proactive steps toward better health, not just this week, but all year round.

From heart health and prostate checks to mental wellbeing and lifestyle support, early detection and regular screening can make a life‑changing difference. Across the Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group, our consultants, GPs, and specialist teams are committed to providing fast access to expert care in a comfortable, confidential environment.

As part of Men’s Health Week, Dr Simon Beatty, GP at our Belfast GP Clinic, is encouraging men to take a proactive approach to their health by carrying out regular testicular self-checks, reminding them to always: “Self-check, self-check, self-check!”

Within this in mind, here are some small steps that could make a big difference:

“Exam yourself.”

“Discuss your symptoms with a GP.”

  • Book a health check: Routine screenings can detect issues early, when they’re most treatable.
  • Prioritise heart health: High blood pressure and cholesterol often show no symptoms.
  • Talk about mental wellbeing: Reaching out is a strength, not a weakness.
  • Stay active: Even 30 minutes of movement a day can improve long‑term health.
  • Know your family history: Awareness helps you and your GP make informed decisions.

Men’s Health Week is the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and take action.

Whether it’s an unusual symptom, or a lingering concern, our GPs are available to listen and advise potential treatment options, alongside a seamless pathway to on-site diagnostics and surgeries at Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group if required.
