MEN’S HEALTH CLINIC
Men’s health deserves a conversation.
Welcome to Activate 108
THE MEN’S HEALTH CHECK-IN
At the Men’s Health Clinic at Cheltenham Medi Spa, we take a whole-person approach to the conversation.
Your appointment can begin with your story.
What has changed?
When did it start?
What are you concerned about?
What would you like to improve?
What have you already tried?
What professional support have you received?
A structured conversation can help you organise your concerns and decide what your next step should be.
Where a symptom could require medical assessment, the appropriate route is your GP, NHS service or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.
WHY ACTIVATE 108?
The name Activate 108 represents an invitation to activate your attention.
MEN’S HEALTH DOWN UNDER
Activate 108 is part of a wider ambition to create a men’s health conversation that can travel. From Cheltenham to Australia, the Men’s Health Down Under concept is being developed as an international community-facing message: Men’s health is everyone’s business. The same principles apply wherever the programme operates: Talk early. Check appropriately. Seek professional help. Don’t ignore persistent changes. Local services and healthcare systems differ between countries, so all medical referrals and clinical care should follow the relevant local healthcare system.
HAIR LOSS AND MEN’S HEALTH
Hair loss is one of the most common reasons men become concerned about their appearance and confidence. But hair loss can have many possible causes. Genetics, ageing, hormonal changes, stress, illness, nutritional problems, medication, scalp conditions and other factors may all be relevant. A hair and scalp consultation can help document what is happening, but it cannot establish every medical cause. Activate 108 therefore treats hair loss as an opportunity to have a wider conversation. Pimp My Mo sits naturally within this approach. A grooming appointment can become a gateway to awareness. Not diagnosis. Not fear. Just a conversation. PIMP MY MO Look good. Feel good. Check in. Pimp My Mo is a men’s grooming and awareness concept designed to make health conversations less intimidating. Hair, beard, scalp and grooming concerns can affect confidence. Men may notice changes in their appearance before they talk about how they feel. Creating a relaxed environment can help people begin that conversation. If something appears medically concerning, the appropriate response is professional medical assessment rather than attempting to diagnose it within a grooming or wellbeing service.
MEN’S HEALTH DOWN UNDER
The programme can explore topics including: Hair and scalp awareness Lifestyle and wellbeing Healthy ageing Fitness and activity Nutrition and healthy eating Smoking and nicotine cessation Sleep and stress Mental wellbeing Sexual health awareness Prostate health awareness Testicular health awareness Appropriate screening and medical referral The purpose is education and signposting. The clinic does not replace a GP, specialist, NHS screening programme or emergency medical service.
YOUR HEALTH HISTORY
One of the most useful things you can bring to an appointment is your timeline. Think about what changed and when. Has your hair become thinner? Have you experienced a period of significant stress? Have you recently been ill? Has your weight changed? Have you started or stopped medication? Have your sleep patterns changed? Have you noticed changes in your energy or mood? Are there symptoms you have been putting off discussing? A written timeline can make conversations with healthcare professionals more productive.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL HELP
Activate 108 encourages men not to ignore persistent or worrying symptoms.
Speak to your GP or appropriate healthcare professional if you experience unexplained or persistent changes.
Seek urgent medical help when symptoms are severe, sudden or potentially life-threatening.
The clinic should never encourage someone to delay medical care.
The message is simple:
Awareness is useful. Diagnosis belongs with qualified healthcare professionals.
PREMIER DIAGNOSTICS
Premier Diagnostics is developing a community-facing model that connects hair awareness, men’s health education and appropriate professional signposting.
The objective is to make the first conversation easier.
That conversation might begin with:
“I’ve noticed my hair is changing.”
“I don’t feel like myself.”
“I’ve been putting this off.”
“I want to get healthier.”
“I need to know where to start.”
There is no shame in asking.
