Are there any uni with Medical foundation where accept GCSE results?

I have done my gcse this MAY and I've got a good results.
At first, I was thinking to go for an A-level after my gcse. However,
right now I'm sure that I would like to do MEDICINE course at my uni.
So, if there are any medical foundation I could go with my gcse results, I will change my mind to foundation

I would really recommend that instead of trying to get straight into a Foundation course that you study at A-levels. Medicine is highly competitive and you really do need good grades. Even with taking a Foundation level a lot of Universities will request that you have A-levels, they would just offer them slightly lower.
For example University of Nottingham's Foundation Level course requests BBC with Five GCSE's at grade B whereas they would usually ask for AAA with at least six GCSE's at grade A.

It tells you about the usual entry requirements for different UK Medicine courses.

It seems that the chances of you getting into university to study Medicine without any A-levels is highly improbable and more likely downright impossible.

I think nearly all medicine foundation courses require A-Levels.
