I'm from SE London so this is more generalised sorry but hope it can be of help. Most medical or vet places won't accept you until you're 16, but here's the page of the hounslow area nhs trust work experience page with an email you could use to contact and ask if there are any (probably only non-clinical) placements you could do: https://www.chelwest.nhs.uk/about-us/work-with-us/work-experience. You can contact local GP and vet surgeries directly. I don't know much about police, but volunteering at your local food bank or charity is a great way to get involved with the charity sector. I've also found contact pages for a few charities in Hounslow:
https://hounslowseniorstrust.org.uk/contact-us/
https://www.ageuk.org.uk/hounslow/get-involved/volunteer/ (explicitly states that they can accept under 18s for work experience placements only, not volunteering)
