We need to talk about barristers’ health – what our profession does to it, the toll that can exact, and how we should be quantifying those effects, so we can understand and manage them better in this privileged and demanding career. While much great work has been done in relation to mental health, there is, I believe, a pressing need to assess the effect of barristers’ work on our physical health. Many of us prioritise our careers over good health.
