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.

This year marks an unusual combination in the nautical world. The three oldest sailing clubs in Cowes all have Commodores who are members of the Bar Yacht Club, and indeed former Flag Officers of it. Sir James Holman, who retired from the High Court Bench in 2021 heads up the Royal Yacht Squadron; Shelagh Jones, until recently a member of Coram Chambers, is in charge at the Royal London Yacht Club and I am the Commodore of the Island Sailing Club.
