I doubt it, it's very competitive and the official name of the uni is imperial college of science technology and medicine.

Depends on what subjects those are in. Have a look here for a list of GCSE requirements for ALL universities in the UK. You may meet Imperial's if you have As and Bs in the right combination in the right subjects. But do bear in mind that they have other selection procedures too, like the BMAT and A-levels, and your GCSEs are probably below average for medicine applicants, so you need to think about widening your choices and applying to your strengths.

To be honest I don't think there is much chance of getting into imperial maybe try somewhere with lower gcse requirements. I know this may not be what you want to here but if you want to do medicine you need apply strategically.

All applicants must have the following subjects at GCSE level, at grades AAABB or above (in any order):

Biology (or Human Biology)
Chemistry
English Language
Mathematics (or Additional Mathematics or Statistics)
Physics
The Science double award may substitute all sciences at GCSE. However these are the minimum most applicants will have a lot higher grades.

Yeah, Imperial is probably not a good risk to take. They rate their applicants pre-interview on a range of criteria, including GCSE's.

I was also thinking of applying for medicine at imperial, but by reading the comments i'm not as confident whether i should...

I have 1a*,1 distinction, 6a's, 3b's and a pass.

I really want to do medicine, but can i still apply? Am i making the right decision?

If you really want to go there then give it a shot. If you get all A's at AS Level and are willing to do the BMAT. Of course you need the right A levels as well. I'm applying next year as well!!
