Funding for access courses?

I'm afraid Student Finance doesn't cover Access courses and neither does NHS funding.

If you're 24 or over, you can apply for a 24+ Loan, which is designed to help with courses which are slightly lower than uni level:

I was wondering if it was possible to get an access course funded if I have already studied at university before. I got to my third year of a modern languages degree and had to go on medical leave, now my university want me to repeat my year abroad and I really can't afford it, nor did I particularly enjoy my course anyway. I was thinking of going back and doing a midwifery degree, because I know the NHS pay the fees for that and I think it would be something I enjoy, however I have no science A levels so I would need to do an access course in order to be accepted. I know the rule for student finance is the entire length of your course +1 year so I still have 2 years of funding left, however I am unsure if I can use this to fund an access course, and will the NHS still pay my fees?

Sorry for wall of text but I'm completely clueless when it comes to this.
