This is probably the third pharmacy question I dealt with this week. There should be a post on this.

In order to go into pharmacy, you would need to do an MPharm degree accredited by the GPhC. See: https://www.pharmacyregulation.org/education/approved-providers-education-and-training/accredited-mpharm-degrees

The key A Level is Chemistry. Even if you have only one science (assuming you consider Maths a science), you can possibly get away with it if it's in Chemistry. If it's not, then no deal.

List of degrees that just accepts Chemistry as a required A Level:
https://www.bath.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-2023/pharmacy/mpharm-pharmacy/#entry-requirements (possibly because of the list of 'science' subjects)
https://www.keele.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/pharmacy/#ug-ent-req-optionA
There are degrees that do consider Psychology as a science, as well as geography, computer science, etc.

You can alternatively look at accredited MPharm with foundation years (using the GPhC website above). I would leave you to do this yourself.
