Locums often find it hard to do meaningful quality improvement activity because they don't have access to practice computers when they are not employed to see patients, nor do they have the support of the wider primary care team beyond their contracted hours.
For help with access see

Write up a case which interested you for whatever reason (e.g. a difficult consultation, unusual presentation or diagnosis, legal issue).
Describe the events, reflect on what happened and what you learned from this case.
