At UKIM, we specialise in providing personalised Occupational Health Services dedicated to enhancing and sustaining the mental wellbeing of barristers. Navigating the challenges inherent in the legal sector is not easy and this often results in mental and physical health being overlooked. We understand the importance of wellbeing initiatives - not just for the staff of large organisations with Occupational Health support, but for those who are self employed too. That's where our practical solutions can fill this perilous gap.
