Dr. Peter Weil, MBChB, BSc (Hons), MRCGP

Lead clinician and Clinic Manager

Claire Weil, RGN, BSc, SPQ

Registered Nurse and Clinic Manager

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 I wanted 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 continue to work in the NHS at Penicuik Medical Practice, as I have since 2010. My roles there include teaching resident doctors, running the wide-ranging chronic disease management services, and of course, offering joint injections.

I wanted to set up the Edinburgh Joint Injection Clinic to meet the emerging gaps in NHS care I could see in my own work. I am pleased to offer injections in our Clinic. I like seeing patients leave us happy, and I love hearing about successes for them.

Who is Dr. Weil?

Dr. Weil's Qualifications

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

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

I am appraised for all of my medical roles annually, and revalidated every 5 years. I continue to attend refresher courses for joint injection in order to stay current, with the latest being in August 2025.

I have over 25 years of experience as a Registered Nurse specialising in critical care. I have dedicated my career to delivering safe, compassionate, and evidence-based care.

Over the years, I have developed particular expertise in pain management. I believe that timely, effective, and well-considered pain treatment is not just important — it's essential. This understanding informs everything I do at the Edinburgh Joint Injection Clinic.

My role at the clinic blends clinical insight with operational coordination. I manage a wide range of responsibilities, including:
