All previously defined professional core values (i.e. commitment to the patient’s well-being, reliable and caring, pharmaceutical expertise and responsibility to society) played a role therein. The customised core values can enable pharmacists to better recognise moral dilemmas in practice. This can add to the advancement of the profession as a pharmaceutical care practice. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors express their gratitude to all the participating pharmacists who shared their moral reflections. Also, they want to thank the pharmacists who participated in the expert panel. The authors also thank the Royal Dutch Pharmacists Association and the foundation ‘Stichting Management voor Apothekers en voor de Gezondheidszorg’ for funding this research.
