Conclusion

Community pharmacists have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on men’s health by combining clinical expertise with proactive, person-centred care.

Recognising the signs of prostate conditions, such as BPH, prostatitis and prostate cancer, and understanding the nuances of PSA testing and hormonal assessment, are key to effective early intervention.

The ongoing discussion around testosterone thresholds highlights the importance of staying informed and responsive to emerging evidence. Just as vital is the creation of pharmacy spaces that feel safe and relevant to men, where health concerns can be discussed openly and without judgement.

Through thoughtful communication, targeted health promotion and a commitment to inclusivity, pharmacists can help men take control of their health, access preventative services and feel empowered to seek support when it matters most.
