NHS funded medical degree for graduate entry?

I am currently in the process of applying for 2017 entry to medicine in England or Northern and i'm wondering if anyone else on TSR has had NHS funding for a medical degree and how exactly the system works?
I am currently undertaking my pre-registration year to become a pharmacist after completing my Master of Pharmacy course. I would like to go to QUB in Northern Ireland, but am also looking for alternative universities in England, just incase I don't meet the entry requirements, due to the full academic background required.

I have been in contact with NHS finance, and from what I understand, they fund the accelerated, 4 year, medicine degree from year 2 onwards and the also fund the full medicine course from year 5 onwards.

I am looking into the NHS funding simply because with university fees in England now >9,000, it would be impossible to self finance. Has anyone else on TSR done what I hope to do?

So the NHS will fund £3565 of your fees in years 2-4. Student finance will fund the other £5435 with a fees loan which you can have every year. So you do have to find £3565 for fees in your first year. Some unis have bursaries but for the most part you need to fund this yourself. As for living costs, you get the normal access to student finance loans in the first year, and then you can get £2300 or so maximum from 2nd year onwards. The NHS will also give you a grant for maintenance from 2nd year, part of which is dependant on your/your parents' income.

Is this for the A101 course? or for all graduate entry courses? Kings do A102 and i'm struggling to find out if they allow you to get student finance and NHS bursaries
