In pharma, breakthroughs are built on evidence, yet myths still spread faster than facts. 🧬

In today’s Myth vs Fact series, we’re tackling three big misconceptions shaping public trust and access to medicines:
• Generics vs brands: Effectiveness and quality are the same, the price isn’t.
• Vaccines: Most side effects are mild and temporary; serious ones are extremely rare.
• New medicines: Nothing is “rushed”, drugs must pass rigorous multi-phase trials and strict regulatory review before approval.

Our aim is simple: cut through the noise, highlight what the data shows, and support informed decisions across healthcare.

💬 Which of these myths do you hear most often, and how do you address it with patients or colleagues?

The Latest Advances in Men’s Health Research: What’s Changing and Why It Matters 🧠🩺

At GHP News, we spotlight the innovators pushing healthcare forward and the ideas reshaping outcomes across the sector. Here are the stand-out trends we’re tracking from bench to bedside:

Prostate cancer care evolves: PSMA-targeted diagnostics & therapies are moving earlier in the pathway, with growing real-world momentum. 🎯

Heart health through metabolic care: Anti-obesity medicines are delivering cardiovascular benefits, reframing weight management as cardiac risk reduction. ❤️‍🩹

Male contraception steps up: First-in-class, non-hormonal approaches are progressing through early trials, expanding future choice. 💊

Beyond CPAP for sleep apnoea: Hypoglossal-nerve stimulation is offering durable symptom relief for CPAP-intolerant adults. 😴🔄

HPV prevention for men: Stronger data reinforce gender-neutral vaccination to cut HPV-related cancers. 🛡️

Fertility & environment: Microplastics and other exposures remain a critical research frontier with real-world relevance. 🌍

Vaccines for healthy ageing: Adult RSV vaccines widen protection options for older adults. 🧓💉

Digital mental health, validated: Scalable tools are showing meaningful improvements in routine care. 📱✅

📌 Why this matters:
Men experience higher rates of preventable morbidity and mortality, so turning evidence into action is essential across screening, prevention, and long-term management.

Remote Patient Diagnostics: The Universal Healthcare Solution? 🩺🌍

In one of our features, Paul Christie, Co-Founder & CEO of Tachmed, explores why at-home diagnostics are no longer a convenience but a catalyst for more accessible, preventive, and data-driven care.

What’s changing, and why it matters:
- Access at the edge: Familiar, user-centred testing brings timely insights to patients wherever they are, supporting equity and earlier intervention.
- Data that moves care upstream: Continuous, real-time results help clinicians personalise treatment and act before issues escalate.
- System relief through integration: When patient-generated data flows into clinical pathways (with clear governance), services can reduce delays and focus resources where they’re needed most.
- From sick-care to smart-care: Remote diagnostics don’t replace clinicians, they augment decision-making, strengthen prevention, and build resilience across health systems.

The takeaway: If universal healthcare means timely access, informed decisions, and better outcomes, remote diagnostics are a practical route to get there today, not tomorrow.

Men’s Health: Global Perspective 🧔🏻🌍

This Movember, we’re putting data front and centre - here are the key signals shaping men’s health worldwide:

Leading causes of death: Cardiovascular diseases, especially ischaemic heart disease and stroke, remain the top killers globally. 🫀📈

Gender gap in life expectancy: Men live ~4 years fewer than women in the UK (78.8 vs 82.8), with a sizeable gap seen across many regions. ⌛

Burden trends: Non-communicable diseases (CVD, diabetes, mental disorders, obesity) drive a growing share of early death and disability. 📊

Hypertension signal: Around 1.3 billion adults live with high blood pressure, 4 in 5 aren’t adequately treated. 💢

To***co exposure: Smoking rates are falling, yet to***co remains a major driver of preventable disease. 🚭

Su***de disparity: In most regions, men’s su***de rates exceed women’s, underscoring the need for targeted support and earlier engagement. 🧠

📌 Why it matters:
Turning evidence into action, prevention, early screening, vaccination, risk-factor management, and equitable access to care, can shift the curve on avoidable illness for men worldwide.

Movember is the global campaign rallying moustaches, movement and conversations to change the face of men’s health, supporting projects in mental health & su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Since 2003, the movement has funded 1,250+ men’s health projects worldwide.

Why this month matters (by the numbers) 📊

Su***de: An estimated 727,000 people died by su***de in 2021; men account for a disproportionate share, with male rates over twice those of women globally.

Prostate cancer: Around 1.47–1.5 million men were newly diagnosed in 2022, with ~396–397k deaths worldwide. Early detection and equitable access to care remain critical.

Testicular cancer: Highly treatable when found early, ~95% 5-year survival in the U.S.

Care-seeking gap: Men are more likely to delay or avoid healthcare, a barrier that costs lives.

How you can take part this Movember 👇
Check in with a mate, learn the signs and symptoms, and book routine appointments if you’ve been putting them off. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a healthcare professional or local helpline. 💙

Only 14% of employers truly understand employees’ health & wellbeing needs. Here’s why that matters, and what to do. 🧭

Latest research from Towergate finds just 14% of employers strongly agree they grasp needs across all four pillars (physical, mental, social, financial), even though 86% are already asking employees via surveys, manager feedback, reviews, forums/focus groups and informal channels. Debra Clark, head of health and wellbeing at Towergate Employee Benefits, says the gap isn’t about intent, it’s about method and follow-through: blend anonymous routes for sensitive topics, collate insights centrally, and review regularly so support keeps pace with changing needs.

Practical takeaways:
- Pair short pulse surveys with manager 1:1s and moderated focus groups to reduce blind spots.
- Segment by role, location and life stage; track uptake and outcomes (not just clicks) to see what actually helps.
- Publish a simple “four pillars” roadmap so people know what’s available and how to access it.
- Re-test sentiment after changes and iterate—treat wellbeing like any other product.
