Movember Men in Mind: Engaging men in general practice

You're listening to the GP Supervision Australia podcast, Movember Men in Mind, Engaging Men in General Practice, presented by Ben Rogers, Dr Hayden Kane, Dr Nige Gray and Associate Professor Magdalena Simonis.

We would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which this recording was produced and pay our respects to their elders, past, present, future and their families.

It is a great pleasure to... be introducing the Movember team to talk about engaging men in general practice.

And I think for the supervisors who are supporting registrars in this endeavour, and also for themselves, it's such an important area to focus on.

It's a challenge.

You'll hear from the Movember presenters, including Ben, who's just about to speak about some of the significant issues affecting Australian men.

And then we'll have a panel discussion and we'll hopefully unpack some of that with very much a focus on your work as clinicians and also your work as educators and supervisors of registrars.

So we've got a couple of pretty straightforward learning objectives and I think really important learning objectives.

You know, this is about supervision.

It's about work in clinical practice.

But for me, much of this is influenced by what we're seeing beyond the consultation room and some of the influences on young men and men more broadly.

So we're talking about masculinities and their implications of men's health outcomes and how that impacts on us as clinicians and supervisors and particularly Movember's work in this space, the MALE as an acronym, M-A-L-E, Engagement Framework and its application in GP consultations.

First up, I would like to introduce Ben Rogers.

Ben's the Global Director of Health Professional Education at Movember and leading the design and implementation of health professional training on gender responsive healthcare for men in Australia and internationally.

And really excitingly, as you'll hear about, we'll be talking about a health professional education program for primary care that Movember have been working on and will be delivering, which I think is a great output of much of the work they've done.

So Ben, over to you.
