Fragrance-Free Policy

The Bridgepoint Family Health Team would like to encourage all patients and visitors to wear fragrance-free products in the clinic.

Some fragrances can make other patients, staff, or visitors feel ill. Fragrances can even trigger asthmatic attacks in patients with asthma. Exposure to scented products can trigger symptoms such as: headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, upper respiratory symptoms, shortness of breath, skin irritation.

Ahead of your visits to the clinic, please avoid perfumes and colognes, and try to opt for “unscented” or “fragrance-free” products, particularly in lotions and creams.

Examples of products that can be heavily scented are: certain shampoos and conditioners, hairsprays, soaps, deodorants, colognes and aftershaves, perfumes and body sprays, lotions and creams
