Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons.

A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by su***de every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all su***des.

Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund ground breaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.

Unite to take on mental health, su***de, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

CHANGES TO ANIMA FROM 1 OCTOBER 25

Following changes in our NHS contract, with effect from 1st October, patients will be able to submit ROUTINE and ADMIN requests via Anima, once the system has stopped accepting on the day medical requests due to safety limits.

Patients will acknowledge that they understand their request may not receive a response for up to 72 hours, although they will receive an acceptance message. Any request received that is not routine will be signposted to NHS 111, Pharmacy First or A&E.

This means that patients can still contact us via Anima with non urgent or admin queries.

The system will be open from 8am to 6pm every working day.

Please note you can still contact us by telephone or in person. All medical requests will be put through the Anima system and triaged by a clinician before an appointment is offered.
