The week was a major opportunity for a wide range of organizations and individuals to work together to raise awareness of men's health issues and to develop practical initiatives to improve the still poor state of male health. Men's Health Week was led by The Men's Health Forum, the leading advocate of men's health in England and Wales, with the support and collaboration of partners who share its aim of promoting the health of men.<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /> For information about events in Scotland click here.
