Webinar - The secret to encouraging men to look after their health.
05 June 2025
In advance of International Men’s Health Week (9-15 June), we bring to you a 40-minute webinar for HR and Line Managers, in partnership with our Virtual GP and Second Medical Opinion partner Teladoc Health.

About this event
Studies consistently show that men consult with their GPs less frequently than women, putting off seeking medical treatment – often until their symptoms become unbearable or until a loved one pushes them to get help.*
We speak with Teladoc Health’s Chief Medical Officer Dr David Griffiths, to find out:
- What trends Teladoc Health is seeing – anecdotally and data-driven.
- The impact on people and business of early intervention vs leaving issues to progress.
- Ideas for reframing your Virtual GP service so that you can better engage your male employees in taking care of their health.
Dr Griffiths will also be on hand to answer HR and Line Manager questions directly related to this topic.
Plus, all attendees will receive takeaways post-event: employee communications that can be uploaded directly to intranets; plus FAQs for HR and Line Managers.
