Local General Practitioner–Parish Minister Networks for Existential Care in Danish Primary Care—What Did We Learn? A Ricoeur-Inspired Focus Group Study

Relationship-building and early, appropriate patient inclusion appear central to momentum. Further research should examine patient outcomes and feasible models for collaboration that preserve confidentiality and role clarity.
