Declarations
:
: The study adhered to the Helsinki Declaration [CitationRef removed]. Before starting the workshops, the head managers from all departments gave permission for all participants to participate. Audiotaped oral informed content was obtained from the participants at the workshops. We choose oral informed consent, why written informed consent was not obtained for the following reasons: 1) the head of departments approved the health care professional’s participation in the study, 2) we did not expect the interviews to include personally identifiable topics (which they did not) and 3) as the head of departments approved the health care practitioners participation and that the participants gave audiotaped oral consent, informed consent was given. In the research notes, all names of participants were replaced by code names. All participants were informed that it was voluntary to participate and that they could withdraw from the study at any time. The Danish Data Protection Agency (AHH-2016-080, I-Suite no. 05078) approved the study.Ethical approval was applied for but according to Danish law, ethical approval is not mandatory for studies not involving biomedical issues [I-Suite no. H-18027877], cf. section 1, subsection 4 of the Committee Act, and can be carried out without permission from the Research Ethics Committees of the Capital Region. In Denmark, the task of the research ethics committee is to evaluate research projects within health sciences. A health science research project is a project which involves research on live birth human subjects, human sex cells that are intended for fertilization, human fertilized eggs, embryos and fetuses, tissues, cells and hereditary components from humans, fetuses and the like or deceased. This includes clinical trials of pharmaceutical products on humans and clinical trials of medical equipment.
