Dr. Malcolm Carruthers, MD, FRCPath., MRCGP

Founder and Medical Director of the Centre for Men’s Health Clinic, Dr. Carruthers started in General Practice in London over 40 year’s ago, and is a Life Member of The Royal College of General Practitioners. His career is best summarised as bedside to bench, and back again.

Armed with the knowledge of general medicine obtained by a decade of bedside experience, he then went on to specialise in Chemical Pathology at The Middlesex Hospital in London, and became a Senior Lecturer and Consultant at Saint Mary’s Hospital, and later Consultant Director of clinical laboratory services at the Maudsley Hospital and Bethlem Royal Psychiatric Hospitals, with a research Laboratory in the Institute of Psychiatry.

He obtained his MD degree with widely publicised research on ‘Stress, Tension and Heart Disease’, described in his book ‘The Western Way of Death’ published by Pantheon Books in London and New York in 1974.  He is a Member of the British Cardiovascular Society, and past President of the Society for Psychosomatic Research.

He became interested in testosterone when in 1977 he saw the remarkable results being obtained by this hormone treatment used in circulatory disorders by the Danish pioneer, Dr Jens Moller, and frequently visited his Cardiovascular Clinic in Copenhagen over the following 10 years.

In 1988 he set up what is now the Centre for Men’s Health in Harley Street, specialising in the still controversial diagnosis and treatment of testosterone deficiency, male menopause or andropause.  He became a member of The European Academy of Andrology, and International and European Societies for the Study of the Aging Male.

Since then he has done extensive original research on the subject, given talks at numerous international meetings and conferences world-wide.  In 2000 was a founder member, Chairman and now President of The Society for the Study of Androgen Deficiency (Andropause Society), a registered charity which has held five International Conferences in London, and training courses in testosterone treatment in England, Russia, and Australia, with others planned in South America and Ireland.
