as u probably know, its very hard to get onto graduate courses, and you usually need a 2i minimum. What was your degree in, and where was it from?

First and foremost, your degree would need to be in a biological or chemical field. You would idealy also need a first (although a 2:1 would be ok if you had v.good gcse / a-level grades).

On top of this you absolutely NEED work experience in the health-care sector (voluntary work at the local hospital etc) and the med schools perfer students who have done this voluntary work over a long period as it shows commitment (even if it is an hour a week for 1 or 2 years).

As suggested, go onto http://www.medschoolguide.co.uk as they can provide excellant advice.
