Tackling Men’s Health
Leeds Met’s pioneering Tackling Men’s Health campaign is giving rugby fans the opportunity to tackle the issues of men’s health and kick them into touch.
Tackling Men’s Health is now a major partnership with the Department of Health and the NHS forming a key part of the region’s promotion of the Change4Life campaign.
Building on last year’s successful pilot, this year’s campaign will bring together a range of organisations at every Leeds Rhinos home match during their 2009 engage Super League campaign and will give rugby fans the opportunity to address the issues of men’s health.
Activities and services provided on match days will include roving health checks, smoking cessation groups and weight loss campaigns as well as health teams providing specific information on men’s health and encouraging male rugby fans to be self-aware and where necessary take action.
The world’s first Professor of Men’s Health, Alan White, from Leeds Met said: “Men’s lifestyle choices, including higher levels of smoking, drinking, risk taking and diet, contribute to a lower life expectancy than that of women. This can become worsened by a socialisation process which sees men less likely to use health services for fear of being seen as weak. The presence of a regular captive audience at rugby league matches presents the opportunity to target a significant number of men with a range of topical men’s health issues and to get them involved in taking better care of themselves.”
“The emerging message is that men are interested in their health but do not find it easy to freely discuss their health concerns. However, we’ve found that, when the opportunity to discuss health is presented in a familiar environment, men are willing to listen and take note.”
The Tackling Men’s Health initiative is a partnership between Leeds Met, the Department of Health, the Leeds Men’s Health Network, Men’s Health Plus (specialist Men’s Health Nurses), Leeds Rugby Club, NHS Yorkshire and the Humber and NHS Leeds.
Jane Riley, Associate Director of Public Health for Yorkshire and the Humber, said: “We recognise that men tend to have poorer health than women, and we are keen to find more effective ways of helping men take better care of themselves. This collaboration with Leeds Met and the Leeds Rhinos is a real opportunity for the Department of Health and the NHS to provide advice and help in a way and a setting that many men prefer. Although weight is often considered to be a women’s issue, many more men are overweight than women and we welcome the opportunity to encourage rugby fans and their families to join the Change4Life movement – and Eat Well, Move More and Live Longer.”
The Tackling Men’s Health campaign was first launched in 2008 and targeted a number of rugby league and rugby union matches. Feedback from fans was very positive – many heard from their friends that help was at hand and were keen to find out more – so this season the men’s health experts will target fans at every single Rhinos home game, beginning this evening when the Rhinos take on the Wakefield Wildcats.
The collaboration between Leeds Met’s health faculty and Leeds Rugby highlights the benefit of partnerships to the university bringing together health expertise with a leading professional sports team.
In 2008 the University’s ‘Tackling Men’s Health initiative reached over 100,000 sports fans culminating in activities at the final of Rugby League’s most prestigious domestic knockout tournament, the Carnegie Challenge Cup, at Wembley Stadium in August where they discussed men’s health issues with over 80,000 fans.

Understand the benefits of Wellness Programs
BIO:
Randy Philip is a principal consultant at the Washington Insurance Consulting Group.
TRANSCRIPT:
I’m Randy Philip, Principal Consultant with the Washington Insurance Consulting Group located in Alexandria, Virginia. I and my partners have over 70 years of combined experience working with small employers and medium employers, working employee benefits.
Today we’re going to be talking about wellness programs, and are they more than just a perk? What are wellness programs? Wellness programs encompass a number of things—a number of things to engage your employees, a number of things to make the employees feel that the employer is interested in them. Examples of that might be gym memberships, or where some employers might even have gyms inside the organization. A lunchtime workout—where the employer would bring in someone who could do yoga, someone who might do aerobics. Other examples are heart monitors—where an employer might motivate the employee or stimulate the employee by engaging them to wear a heart monitor or wear a pedometer so that their activities can be tracked.
Another part of the wellness package is where employers do health screenings. An employer might bring in a nurse or a nurse practitioner to come in to do cholesterol checking, to do high blood pressure checking, to check for diabetes, to do flu shots. What employers realize is that the more they engage their employees and their families and the more they can get ahead of some of those medical concerns—diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol—and get ahead of that ball, the better off it is for the employee and the employer.
Another benefit to wellness programs are to motivate employees to stop smoking. That could be where they bring in smoking coaches or where they actually even pass out the smoking nicotine patch.
Some advantages of wellness programs: It reduces the employees being absent from work. The other thing about this engagement of employees—this allows the employer to recognize employees for things other than work. It’s great to say, “Hey John, you’re doing a good job at your job,” but it’s also a wonderful to be able to tell John, “You’re doing a great job at representing your team in being active and doing the things that you can do for yourself and for your team to be active.”
For every dollar that an employer invests in a wellness program, it reduces the overall health care cost by $3.27. So there are some direct correlations; not immediately, but over the long period, there are some direct correlations to when employer invests a dollar, the payback in the overall cost—not just the premium that the employer is paying for health insurance, but just the overall employee cost.
The other benefit is that it increases the workers’ morale—employees that feel that the employer is invested in them as an employee.
This has been Randy Philip, Principal Consultant with the Washington Insurance Consulting Group located in Alexandria, Virginia for business.com. Please remember the following points.

Weight Bias in Health Care
Overweight and obese patients frequently feel stigmatized in health care settings, and face stereotypes and prejudice from health care providers.
These stigmatizing experiences (also called ‘weight bias’) jeopardize patients’ emotional and physical health. The Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University (http://ruddcenter.yale.org) has released this new video in response to a growing concern about weight bias in health care. The video, hosted by celebrity and activist Emme and featuring Rudd Center experts including Dr. Rebecca Puhl and Dr. Kelly Brownell, uses expert commentary and dramatic representation to increase awareness of bias and stigma that overweight and obese patients encounter in health care. Equally importantly, the video presents a range of practical strategies to help providers reduce bias in their clinical practice, and to optimize the health care experience for their overweight and obese patients.

Health Education Jobs in Conflict and Developing Countries
In some countries in the third world countries, health care is the thing which is considered not as the foremost.
Especially for the countries which are bounded by warfare for these recent years, the governments’ supply of money and tax are absorbed by the need to buy guns and weapon to arm their soldiers.
Meanwhile, starving kids and dead mothers while bearing babies are increasing in massive number.
Children who have to work under the gun and the pressure also still exist all around the globe.
They need better treatment, better health care, better education, better diet, and also better affection.
The adults in their countries are possibly cannot afford to give those luxury things to them. But you can, obviously.
If you are called to help these people to get better health education, you could search for health education jobs announcements.
People to work in medical field are needed around the world.
Not only in the conflict area, are people who work in health education jobs needed in order to consult people in developing countries.
People who works in health education jobs are needed to consult schools and institution to teach their public how to live healthy.
Regardless their government political decisions, people are having the strict right to be healthy.
It is your job to teach people how to survive under the authority of ignorant government and lack of medical facility.
Working in this job is very blessed.
People who are unfortunately living in the area of conflict need better medical treatment from now on.
