Methods: A longitudinal mixed-method study with a concurrent triangulation design was used with data collected through semistructured interviews and online surveys. Findings: The leadership mentoring programme was found to be valuable by the participants who described strengthened leadership and professional development and development of professional identities. Participants showed increased research productivity and many moved to new/higher positions.
