Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) is preparing a bid to the national Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme (OPIP) Competition overview - Obesity Pathway Innovation Programme (OPIP): Strand 3 - Innovation Funding Service - a new £85 million competitive funding programme jointly delivered by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and Eli Lilly and Company Ltd, administered by Innovate UK.

The OPIP programme aims to transform how the NHS and its partners deliver weight management and obesity prevention by developing integrated, community-based pathways that are innovative, equitable, and scalable across local systems.
