Infection Prevention & Control Practices
The goal of our IPC program is to proactively prevent the spread of infections from patients, employees, visitors, and others who enter our clinics. Wellbeing of our community is our primary concern. London X-Ray Associates reviews all infection control practices to limit the spread of illness. During respiratory season precautions are continually reviewed based on the risk within our community and direction is sought from the Middlesex-London Health Unit.
To protect London X-Ray Associates patients and employees, we ask that all patients to rebook their appointment if they experience any of the following or are generally feeling ill:
- A fever, sore throat, new/worse cough, or respiratory/COVID-19 symptoms.
- Or has signs of unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea, fever etc.).
To cancel and reschedule your booked appointment, please contact our scheduling department at 519-672-7900.
Preventing the Spread of Infection
We are following passive COVID-19 screening protocols as outlined by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care of Ontario. We request that all patients and visitors self-screen prior to attending their appointment. We continue to encourage physical distancing and limiting patients in the clinic waiting rooms. After registering for your appointment, if you would like to wait outside of our waiting room, please ask our receptionist about our ability to text you when your appointment is to begin.
Our employees are wearing personal protective equipment and completing enhanced cleaning protocols. You will notice plexiglass barriers and physical distancing signs through our clinics. These are preventative measures to reduce transmission of infections such as COVID-19. Our employees frequently clean throughout the clinic each day and after every patient.
Patients are not required to wear a medical face mask when attending their appointment. However, we continue to support our patient’s choice to wear a medical face mask while in our clinics. All patients are requested to use the available hand sanitizer when entering and leaving our clinics. Please follow best practices of frequent hand washing to reduce the transmission of infections.
