Good day. I am based in South Africa and due to family reasons I could not complete my high school. I would like to study medicine in the UK and I would like to find out if there is a foundation course that I can study or I can study the Access to Higher education diploma in Medicine. Also please advise on accredited institutes I can study with. Thank you.

Yes, Access to Medicine is one way, though you would have more options if you did the standard 3 A levels/equivalent, as all med schools accept those. Info about Access courses can be really hard to come by, as it is not standardised and some med schools accept them, some don't and not every course is accepted everywhere. You just need to plough through all the websites and email those you have queries about, but this link should start you off, though be aware it is a few years old now https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KVN5M42Lg0SOmKieZq2FPlRXEnS6VirM/edit#gid=404689021
