Take control of your health with personalised, proactive men’s healthcare tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and long-term wellbeing.
Next Practice Newstead offers dedicated men's health services for patients of all ages, delivered by experienced GPs at our clinic on Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, conveniently located for residents of Newstead, Teneriffe, New Farm, Bowen Hills, Spring Hill, and the broader Brisbane inner-north.
We understand that men are statistically less likely to seek medical attention than women, and that this reluctance can have serious consequences for long-term health outcomes. At Next Practice Newstead, we are committed to changing that. Our GPs provide a straightforward, non-judgmental environment where men can speak openly about their health, access the care they need, and take a proactive approach to their wellbeing.
For men's health consultations, we recommend booking with Dr Wesley Chan or Dr Tristan Nguyen, both of whom have a special interest in men's health and are experienced in addressing the full breadth of health concerns that affect men across all life stages.
Our GPs provide comprehensive men's health care across a wide range of areas, including:
Mental health, assessment, management, and referral for men experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, or other mental health concerns. Men's mental health remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, and our GPs take a thorough and sensitive approach to supporting men in this area. Reproductive and sexual health, including erectile dysfunction, low libido, fertility concerns, STI screening and treatment, and other aspects of male sexual and reproductive health, discussed with discretion and clinical expertise. Prostate health and screening, prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing, prostate health monitoring, and timely referrals to urologists where indicated. Testosterone and hormonal health, assessment and management of low testosterone and related hormonal concerns affecting energy, mood, libido, and overall wellbeing. Cardiovascular health, assessment and management of cardiovascular risk factors including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and lifestyle risk factors that disproportionately affect men. Skin checks, full skin examinations and mole checks, with men at higher risk of skin cancer and less likely to present for early detection. Preventive health assessments, structured health checks to identify risk factors early and support long-term health and longevity. Chronic disease management, ongoing GP care for men managing long-term conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory conditions. Lifestyle and wellbeing, evidence-based guidance on nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, sleep, and other lifestyle factors central to men's health.
Mental health is one of the most pressing and underaddressed areas of men's health in Australia. Men are significantly less likely to seek help for mental health concerns, yet are disproportionately affected by the consequences of untreated mental illness.
At Next Practice Newstead, our GPs are experienced in creating a space where men feel comfortable discussing how they are truly feeling, without judgement, without pressure, and without being made to feel that seeking help is a sign of weakness. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or simply feel that something is not quite right, our team is here to help.
A GP Mental Health Care Plan can be developed at our clinic, providing access to Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions with a psychologist per calendar year.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, yet many men delay or avoid prostate screening. Our GPs encourage all men, particularly those aged 50 and over, or those with a family history of prostate cancer, to discuss prostate health screening with their doctor.
A prostate health conversation at Next Practice Newstead is straightforward and confidential. Your GP will discuss the benefits and limitations of PSA testing, assess your individual risk factors, and guide you toward the most appropriate screening approach for your circumstances.
Seeing a GP who understands the specific health challenges, risk profiles, and communication needs of men makes a meaningful difference to the quality and comfort of your healthcare experience. Dr Wesley Chan and Dr Tristan Nguyen bring both clinical expertise and a genuine understanding of men's health to every consultation, providing care that is thorough, relevant, and delivered in a manner that respects how men prefer to engage with their health.
