title: The first 100 independent quality assurance options.
abstract: The independent option route to quality assurance is attracting projects from general practitioners interested in a wide variety of clinical, educational and community roles. Despite the worthwhile increase in confidence and satisfaction claimed by participants, few projects attempt to measure objectively the impact on patient care. Following an analysis of the first 100 completed independent option projects, the Quality Assurance Unit is in a position to offer better guidelines to help future participants gain maximum benefit from their projects.
