OPIP (Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme)
Delivering innovative, sustainable and scalable weight management solutions.
The government launched its Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme (OPIP) in August 2025. With £85 million in funding from the UK government and Eli Lilly, OPIP empowers organisations like yours to test and expand new models of care.
This is your chance to move care into the community, utilise advances in pharmacotherapy, and use digital innovation to make effective treatments more accessible than ever before. By doing so, you can improve patient outcomes while significantly reducing pressures on GPs, hospitals, and the wider NHS.
