Ethics approval and consent to participate
: We asked for explicit permission to record and transcribe the MCDs and use them for analyses. Informed consent was obtained verbally. At every MCD the confidentiality of the meeting was emphasized and we made sure that no content in any public document can be led back to individual persons. This is the reason we changed some details in the description of the moral dilemmas in this paper. Since the research does not include patients in a direct way, no permission was needed from the Medical Ethics Review Committee according to the Dutch Medical Research on Human Subjects Act (WMO) [CitationRef removed].
