About Us

Who is Dr. Weil?

I qualified as a doctor in 2001, after training at Edinburgh University. As a resident doctor, I worked in a variety of roles, running the range from Anaesthetics to Renal and Transplant Medicine.

As I progressed in my career, I found myself ultimately wanting to return to the broad home of General Practice. I did so, and since gaining a distinction in the MRCGP examination in 2007, I have been a full-time GP.

I have served the people of Penicuik as a GP at Penicuik Medical Practice since 2010. I continue to do so. Some of my roles in the practice include teaching resident doctors, running our wide-ranging chronic disease management services, and or course, offering joint injections.

I live locally to the Clinic with my wife, Claire, and our two children. Claire is an experienced NHS Critical Care nurse of 20 years standing, who also helps me run The Edinburgh Joint Injection Clinic.

Qualifications

My qualifications are MBChB (Edinburgh, 2000), BSc (Hons, Pharmacology, 2:1), and MRCGP (Edinburgh, passed in 2007).

I am registered with the GMC (6025189). My registration can be confirmed here.

I am appraised for all of my medical roles annually, and am revalidated every 5 years. I continue to attend refresher courses for joint injection in order to stay current, with my latest being in 2024.
