Jamie Talks . . . . Men's Health

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Jamie talks podcast with Amey.In this episode we are talking about men’s health and in particular the importance of reaching out if you feel something isn’t quite right with your mental or physical health,.I Had the pleasure of talking to Our Business Winning Quality Manager, Matt Kershaw  about his recent diagnosis of Leukaemia. H opens up about how he had ignored symptoms and warning signs that suggested something wasn’t right with his health and how it took someone close to him to recognise the changes and urge him to see his GP. Matt discusses the pressures he felt as a new dad, a son and a colleague to be ok and how his experiences have made him more resilient and more likely to open up and start conversations around his health. Below are some useful links  that have helped support Matt through this journey:www.blood.co.ukwww.maggies.orgwww.macmillan.org.ukwww.cancerresearchuk.orgHere are some other useful organisations and useful numbers  MindMental Health Foundation Time to Change CALMHub of hopeSamaritansNHS Change4life Useful numbersSamaritans: 116 123CALM: 0800 58 58 58NHS: 111Prostate cancer: 0800 074 8383 Diabetes: 0345 123 2399Alcoholics Anonymous: 0800 917 7650 Frank: 0300 123 6600
