A network of regional self-help groups were established by JCPSG National Coordinators to help institutions develop their costing and pricing systems and to discuss issues relating to the implementation of the JCPSG Strategy. The groups help with the dissemination of good practice and enable institutions to share ideas and experiences.
The Self Help Groups are voluntary groupings of institutions across the UK and all institutions are encouraged to be represented on the groups. Membership consists mainly of TRAC Managers and some Directors of Finance. Each group meets every two or three months. Members share ideas and experiences at the meetings, and benefit from hearing presentations from fellow project managers. They discuss specific areas of interest and concern, and share templates and implementation methods where these are useful to other institutions.
The TRAC Development Group identified the TRAC Self Help Groups as a key component of the support arrangements for TRAC in institutions, and has established a forum for Chairs and Secretaries of TRAC Self Help Groups to strengthen the role of the groups. Further information about the TRAC Self Help Groups can be found on the TRAC Development Group web page.
