The TVET Council is seeking to strengthen collaboration among health and wellness professionals, saying a lack of networking and coordinated professional development has left gaps within the industry.

Speaking to Barbados TODAY on the sidelines of the TVET Council’s Health and Wellness Conference Open Day at the National Botanical Gardens in Waterford, St Michael, on Saturday, acting Senior Technical Officer Kimisha King said the event was designed to bring practitioners together while highlighting key health issues affecting Barbadians.

The open day formed part of a week of activities that included three days of conference sessions at the Hilton Barbados Resort, where participants examined a range of health-related topics.
