At Penicuik Medical Practice, we want to make sure every veteran, reservist and military family receives the care and recognition they deserve.
If you or a family member has served, please let us know. Many people don’t identify as veterans, but your service history helps us:

⭐ Provide appropriate care for service-related injuries or conditions
⭐ Connect you with specialist support services
⭐ Ensure families are not disadvantaged when relocating
⭐ Honour the Armed Forces Covenant

Whether you served one day or many years, we’d like to hear from you. Call us or go to our Contact Us website page (https://penicuikhealthcentre.co.uk/contact-us-1).
Penicuik Medical Practice is proud to support our Armed Forces community.

Viruses like flu and COVID-19 spread more easily during the colder months when we spend more time indoor with others. That’s why those most at risk of getting seriously ill are being offered the flu and COVID-19 vaccines. It’s important to encourage those who are eligible to take up the offer of vaccination to get the best protection this winter. Visit www.nhsinform.scot/winter-vaccines for all the information about winter vaccines.

To prevent the spread of flu, we continue to recommend regular handwashing and advise people with symptoms of respiratory illness to stay off work or school until you’re feeling better.

Flu season is off to an early start in Scotland, read more in our latest blog: https://publichealthscotland.scot/our-blog/2025/november/with-this-year-s-flu-season-starting-early-find-out-how-to-stay-protected/

Advice on how to recognise and manage flu-like symptoms is available at NHS Inform.

With case numbers for flu rising sharply this week, we're continuing to encourage those who are eligible to come forward to receive their vaccine.

New figures published today show that laboratory-confirmed cases of flu more than doubled in the past week, rising from 845 to 1,759.

Those aged 65 and over, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions are most at risk of serious flu illness, hospitalisation, and in some cases, death. This is why the flu vaccination programme is focussed on protecting those who are most vulnerable to becoming seriously ill with flu.
