Wise Men’s Health Clinic

The Wise Men of the East Network (in East Belfast) will, once again, be running an evening Men’s Clinic at Holywood Arches Health Centre - with health promotion information every other week.  The clinics begin on Wednesday 7th November and run each week from 6.00pm to 8.00pm.  In the past 12 months, 190 men have made use of the evening clinic, and an ‘Exit Survey’ showed that this experience provided (for the majority of the men) a motivation to improve their health, as well as offering them a strategy for how to do this.  The clinic is led by District Nurses, and is aimed at men who have not had contact with their GP in the last 12 months.  The service offers men over 35 years of age a check-up for their weight, blood pressure, screening of their blood, cholesterol level, and an opportunity to discuss their general health.  The results of raised blood sugar levels, cholesterol, prostate problems, raised blood pressure etc. are forwarded to GPs, and the men are advised to follow this up.  As well as men being referred by their GP, they can also refer themselves to the clinic by leaving their details on the answer machine at Tel: 02890 563307.  They will then be contacted about an appointment.  For further information, contact Alan Houston, on Tel: 02890 451512 or Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
