The ManMOT clinic is the UK’s first online health surgery for men and will be open for consultations every Monday from 6pm - 11pm for the next four months.

It’s funded by Pfizer and has the support of a number patient groups, among them Diabetes UK, Relate, the National Obesity Forum, and Heart UK.

“It's well understood that men don't see a healthcare professional as often as women, and survey data suggests this is often because they're embarrassed or perceive such a health visit to be too time consuming,” Pfizer’s Andy Widger told Digital Pharma.

Pfizer has branded the ManMOT clinic as a ‘Monday Opportunity To Talk’, but it’s also a play on the UK’s Ministry of Transport test, or MOT, which assesses whether a car is roadworthy.

Visitors to the website can talk in confidence to healthcare professionals (HCPs) via private peer-to-peer messaging software, similar to MSN Chat, about any health issue concerning them.
