Within the NHS there are many pockets of good practice and examples of successful innovation and improvement. Sometimes these good ideas are not adopted by the wider system, or take a long time to spread. This evidence scan provides examples from the published empirical literature of techniques for spreading innovation and improvement.

Men's adoption of risky health practices and reluctance to seek help and engage in preventive health behaviours have frequently been used to explain their poorer health outcomes, particularly among adolescent boys and young men, and disproportionately affecting BYMOC. Emerging literature on equity and men's health has conveyed that intersections among age, race, sexuality, socioeconomic status and geography contribute to a complex array of health and social inequities. There is growing evidence to suggest these inequities sh...
