Key findings: Professional responsibility for the patient's welfare has changed due to the legislation. Pharmacists now have less time for patient care and face new ethical dilemmas due to discount wars. There are differences in how pharmacists tackle these challenges. Conclusion: Such a radical shift in professional focus as we find in the concept and practice of Pharmaceutical Care, is not viable when imposed on the profession. On the contrary our data illustrates that a successful change in practice must come from within the profession itself.",
