PPE - Bulk Purchasing for Primary Care

Shortages of gowns may be anticipated again in fall 2020. The Thames Valley FHT is willing to facilitate bulk purchases on behalf of primary care providers in the area to secure reasonable market pricing for all. Thames Valley FHT will pass along the savings at no additional cost to you.

Our first bulk purchase would be certified L1 Isolation gowns from Safe Direct Medical Supplies.

Cost: current quote $3.29 + tax per gown
Payment and delivery details: to follow once we are able to make the bulk order.

To purchase gowns, email the number of gowns you wish to order to janet.dang@thamesvalleyfht.ca by Friday July 17, 2020.

If you would like to be made aware of future PPE orders, please also email janet.dang@thamesvalleyfht.ca.
For Family Doctors who are members of OMA/SGFP ONLY

I am pleased to announce that the SGFP and OMA has connected with a supplier who would like to donate PPE to Section of General & Family Practice Members in Grey Bruce.

The PPE supply includes the following: 
·      485 Lysol wipes canisters
·       485 Lysol disinfectant spray cans
·       Masks certified to CE EN14683 Type IIR (50 masks per box)

This precious cargo is being shipped to districts who have secured volunteers to aid with distribution. For Grey Bruce it will be shipped to my Clinic in Southampton.

If you are a Family Physician and you are interested in coming to Southampton to pick up your supply please email me at y2kmd@hotmail.com by July 20, 2020

EACH PHYSICIAN SHOULD EMAIL FOR THEMSELVES. DO NOT EMAIL FOR YOUR GROUP.
 
The allocation of the PPE will be determined based on the number of responses received and the amount of donated PPE provided. An equal allocation will be provided to each individual physician who sent an email. I anticipate deliver of the PPE the first week of August!
