Abstract
Conclusions: This study extends mentoring research by showing that Kram's four phases could be intentionally integrated into the planning and implementation of mentoring relationships; moreover in short-term relationships. In addition, it has identified the particular mentoring functions that are sought and provided in different phases of relationships and that quantity of mentoring changes over the course of a relationship. Further, the study has found that mentees benefit from pairs of mentors (in this case a pharmacist and a consumer or carer) who provide different insights, knowledge and perspectives. Individuals and health-related organisations embarking on mentoring could use these findings as a guide to develop successful mentoring relationships, particularly when implementing a new service.
