UK medical/licence query

Hi folks - looking for ideas as to the most efficient way to get back airborne in the UK in the current climate, with my local school set to open again later in the week.
I have an UK JAR PPL that I was last current under about 13 years ago. I also have an Australian PPL, the SEP rating is current until the end of the year. My Aussie class two medical is valid until October.
My queries are - is it going to be easier to fly under my JAR licence (I believe that needs converted to an EASA, but I am not quite across that yet). I'm thinking I would need to do that, rather than convert my Aussie licence (despite the Aussie one being more current).
Then - for medicals, I'm not sure if anyone is doing them in Scotland at the moment - but do I need one, or can I initially use the self-dec provisions to fly less than 5,600kgs?
Thanks for your help!!
