Engage with higher education institutions and professional associations to explore opportunities to integrate men’s health and wellbeing into existing curriculum, introduce specialty areas of study in men’s health and identify Continuing Professional Development courses suitable for integrating men’s health and wellbeing, using multiple delivery methods
