Calling all medical aesthetics professionals - new injectors, experienced providers, clinic owners, staff and coordinators!

We’re excited to be attending the Canadian Aesthetics Expo this weekend in Toronto!

As the medical aesthetics industry continues to grow, so does the importance of strong Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) practices.

Whether you’re an established clinic or growing your aesthetics practice, IPAC should be more than a checklist - it should be part of your everyday practice.

We’re looking forward to connecting with industry professionals, sharing knowledge, and learning more about the evolving needs of medical aesthetics clinics.

September is Dental Infection Awareness Month.

Infection prevention and control (IPAC) is more than a checklist - it’s an essential part of providing safe, high-quality dental care.

Every day, dental teams play a critical role in protecting patients, staff, and themselves through consistent infection prevention practices.

When was the last time you stopped to ask:
• Are your reprocessing practices being followed consistently?
• Are sterilization processes properly monitored and documented?
• Is your team confident in current IPAC requirements?
• Are your policies and procedures keeping pace with best practices?

Small gaps in infection prevention can have a big impact.

Dental Infection Control Awareness Month is a great opportunity to review your practices, refresh your team’s knowledge, and make sure your IPAC program is working as it should.

We support dental clinics ensure public health and regulatory compliance. Contact us to learn how we can help - [email protected]

Housekeeping is more than cleaning, it's a critical part of Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC).

Every surface cleaned, every protocol followed, and every best practice applied helps create a safer environment for patients, residents, staff, and visitors.

Investing in ongoing IPAC education and training empowers housekeeping teams with the knowledge and confidence to:

• Reduce the risk of infection transmission
• Follow current evidence-based cleaning and disinfection practices
• Respond effectively to emerging infection control challenges
• Strengthen safety and quality across the organization

When we invest in our housekeeping teams, we invest in healthier, safer communities. Education isn't just an opportunity, it's a commitment to excellence in infection prevention.

Staying aligned with Provincial Infectious Disease Advisory Committee (PIDAC) recommendations, regulatory requirements, and evidence-based cleaning and disinfection practices starts with the right support. Independent infection prevention and control (IPAC) assessments, combined with targeted education and training, help equip your team with the knowledge and confidence to maintain the highest standards.

Let Practice Health Check be your trusted partner in maintaining a safe, infection-free environment for all.

In healthcare construction and renovation, compliance isn't an afterthought. It's the foundation of every successful project.

Whether you're building or renovating in medical, dental, or congregate living environments, every decision plays a role in protecting patients, residents, clients, staff, and visitors.

From planning and design to renovation and project completion, we partner with healthcare organizations to ensure every phase aligns with IPAC best practices and CSA standards.

Successful projects focus on several key considerations:
• Airflow management
• Containment systems
• Defined worker and material pathways
• Debris handling and waste removal
• Routine environmental cleaning and monitoring

We're your trusted partner in all things IPAC, delivering guidance, expertise, and compliance you can rely on.

Let's build safer healthcare environments together.

What You Don't See Matters Most

When it comes to medical aesthetics, everyone notices the results but what about the safety measures behind them?

Many aesthetic treatments such as injectables, microneedling, laser treatments, and PRP are minimally invasive, but they can still create pathways for bacteria and viruses to enter the body. Robust IPAC practices help prevent infections, protect client health, maintain regulatory compliance, and support positive treatment outcomes.

Without proper Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) practices, risks can include:
• Unsafe injection practices
• Improper sterilization of reusable instruments
• Inadequate cleaning and disinfection of equipment
• Poor hygiene practices
• Needlestick injuries and bloodborne pathogen exposure
• Improper disposal of sharps and contaminated waste
• Inconsistent staff training and compliance

Our IPAC audits help clinics strengthen your infection prevention and control program, create safer environments for both patients and staff, and prepare for inspections.
