SUMMARY:Men's Health: Sex and the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health: Sex and the Heart - 7 December\, 2021 - 12.30pm to 1.30pm \nSex and the heart \nThe lecture will focus on (1) evaluation and management of cardiovascular risk in men with ED and no known CVD and (2) cardiac risk associated with sexual activity in men with known CVD. \nSeveral prospective studies have investigated the CV response to sexual activity including intercourse\, and found that it is similar to mild to moderate daily non sexual effort. Several of these studies have been performed using ambulatory electrocardiography and blood pressure monitoring comparing heart rate\, electrocardiographic and blood pressure responses during sexual activity and other normal daily activities. \nCasual sex may involve a greater cardiac workload because of lack of familiarity and age mismatch. Using our knowledge of METs\, we can advise patients on sexual activity using a simple comparison with other activities such as walking 1 mile (1.6 km) on the level in 20 minutes

SUMMARY:Men's Health: Testosterone Deficiency
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health:Testosterone Deficiency- 17th November 2021 - 12.30pm to 1.30pm \nTestosterone deficiency (TD) \nThe consensus is that: \n1)      TD is a well–established\, significant medical condition that negatively affects male sexuality\, reproduction\, general health\, and quality of life; \n2) Symptoms and signs of TD occur as a result of low levels of testosterone\, and may benefit from treatment regardless of whether there is an identified underlying etiology; \n3) TD is a global public health concern; \n4) T therapy for men with TD is effective\, rational\, and evidence-based; \n5) There is no T concentration threshold that reliably distinguishes those who will respond to treatment from those who will not; \n6) There is no scientific basis for any age-specific recommendations against the use of T therapy in adult men; \n7) The evidence does not support increased risks of cardiovascular events with T therapy; \n8) The evidence does not support increased risk of prostate cancer with T therapy; \n9) The evidence supports a major research initiative to explore possible benefits of T therapy for cardiometabolic disease\, including diabetes. \n

SUMMARY:Men's Health: Men and COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health: Men and COVID-19 - 2nd November 2021\, 12.30pm to 1.30pm \nAs COVID-19 wreaks havoc across the globe\, the UK has been particularly hard hit. In particular\, during the SARS-CoV outbreak men had a higher case fatality rate of 21.9% as compared to 13.2% for females\, and twice as many male-to-female deaths in the 0–44 year age range. \nIt is too soon for certainty as to why men are more at risk\, but our knowledge of the biological\, behavioural and socio-cultural factors involved is growing and the picture is getting clearer. This lecture will focus onto what is currently understood about the biological implications of being male on the course of the disease. \nThis course is being run as an online training course. Details of how to join the meeting will be emailed to you closer to the event.

SUMMARY:Men's Health: Erectile Dysfunction
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health: Erectile Dysfunction- 5th October 2021 - 12.30pm to 1.30pm\n \nErectile dysfunction \nErectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual performance. The prevalence of ED has been estimated as nearly 40% of men >40 years of  age although these figures are contested. ED increases in frequency with age and is estimated to affect 15% of men aged 40–50 years\, 45% of men in their 60s and 70% of men older than 70 years. Successful erection is a complex system involving reflex action (peripheral nerves and spinal cord)\, the limbic system (psychogenic stimuli) and the release of nitric oxide. Adequate levels of  testosterone are required\, and hence an intact hypothalamic/ pituitary/testicular axis. Hence\, ED can result from disease or treatment that produces hormonal deficiency\, neurological impairment\, problems with penile blood flow\, disorders of tissue mechanics\, and psychologic issues. \nEndothelial dysfunction is one of the first changes in CVD. ED and CVD share many common risk factors including age\, hypertension\, diabetes\, insulin resistance\, smoking\, increased body mass index\, cholesterol and low high-density lipoprotein\, metabolic syndrome\, sedentary lifestyle and depression. Numerous studies and meta-analyses have confirmed the association between ED and CAD. ED is associated with asymptomatic CAD. ED precedes CAD and referral for CAD by periods ranging from 2 to 5 years. Compared with controls\, patients with ED have a higher risk for total CV events (44%)\, myocardial infarction (MI) (60%) and all-cause mortality (25%). ED also appears to be a marker of the severity of CVD with ED associated with increased risk of CVD mortality with a HR 1.48 in a large meta-analysis of 12 prospective cohortstudies. \nThere are many effective treatments. \nThis course is being run as an online training course. Details of how to join the meeting will be emailed to you closer to the event. \nFor more information please contact devon.traininghub@nhs.net

SUMMARY:Veteran's Health Awareness - RCGP Veteran Friendly Practice scheme
DESCRIPTION:FREE to ALL GPS \nAsking the question “Have you ever served in the in military?” is critical to improving healthcare for our veteran population. There are an estimated 2.4 million veterans in the UK\, many have complex needs. There are Veteran-specific services tailored towards this potentially vulnerable patient group and veterans may be entitled to priority treatment for conditions related to military service. Many GPs do not know which of their patients are veterans or how many are registered at their practice. \nThe South West Faculties are delighted to be putting on this Veterans' Health Awareness webinar where you will gain insight into the veteran community including some of the common physical\, mental and psychosocial problems affecting veterans. You will understand the Armed Forces Covenant and what this means in Primary Care. Improve your awareness of where and how to sign-post to veterans' services and how to join 1\,000 practices in England already signed-up to the RCGP veteran accreditation programme. \nThe RCGP is working with NHS England to accredit GP practices as 'veteran friendly'. This programme enables practices to deliver the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces. Please show your support to promote the veteran accreditation programme particularly to practices within your locality who are not already signed up. \nFurther information and online application form can be found at https://www.rcgp.org.uk/veterans \nIf you have any additional queries please contact veterans@rcgp.org.uk

SUMMARY:Men's Health: Top Tips on PSA Testing
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health:Top Tips on PSA Testing - 13th July 2021 - 12.30pm to 1.30pm \nTop tips on PSA testing \nA huge topic in itself.  First establish the man’s main concern. The PSA test should certainly not be done without adequate counselling. A quick summary of the facts may be as follows: large trials have shown that use of the PSA test results in fewer men dying of prostate cancer\, but not fewer deaths overall. Its use can result in detection of prostate cancer cases that may never have caused any problems\, with investigations and treatments that have risks of side effects (overdetection\, overtreatment)\, though this is improving. \nIt can be helpful to direct men to an information leaflet from the Prostate Cancer Risk Management \nThe Prostate Cancer Risk Management Programme provides good advice to professionals and patients \n“The PSA  Test is available free to any well man over 50 who requests it” \nPlus: \nYounger men with high risk at the GP’s clinical judgement \nOther factors influencing a high PSA \n10 years’ life expectancy important to consider \nSensitivity and specificity\, currently being reviewed by DOH regarding national screening programme

SUMMARY:Men's Health: Cancer and the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Men's Health: Cancer and the Heart - 7th July 2021 - 12.30pm to 1.30pm \nCancer and the heart \nImprovements in cancer treatment and earlier diagnosis have contributed to increased survival. Unfortunately\, many cancer treatments carry an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The CVD risk is of particular consideration in an ageing population of cancer survivors who may have co-morbidities which also exacerbate this risk\, and in adult survivors of childhood cancer treatment who may present with CVD symptoms at a relatively young age. Heart disease following cancer treatment may be the result of direct CV damage\, caused by the treatment or may be due to the development of cancer treatment-related CV risk factors. \nWorking with other professionals when necessary\, GPs\, community pharmacists and nurses are in a good position to follow-up people affected by cancer to ensure that CV risks are monitored\, preventative action is taken\, CVD is diagnosed and appropriate treatments are initiated.
