is it possible to apply for graduate entry medicine whilst you have an offer for differed entry medicine. both of them will be starting in 2019, are you allowed to do this in UCAS? can you keep them both stand by?

Are you planning on completing a degree in that 3 years? If so, you'll probably lose out on that deferred offer anyway and it will have funding implications.

I have enrolled to biomedical science which will be finishing in 3 years, plus I was thinking if I can get into better university from graduate entry than the offer from deffered entry I can ditch that, if that's possible, (I will applying to deffered entry medicine in 2017 sep)

You do realise that you don't get funded for tuition fees for a 5 year course if you have a degree. So, as it stands now, you need to pay £36k over the first four years.

You won't get any offers to defer because you're currently doing a degree. If you start that degree then you will finish it and apply for GEM at the end. Deferring is only for people who want a year out before starting for medical reasons/gap year etc, its not so you can go off and complete another degree in between
