Should I do an A Level in Chemistry first before applying to graduate medicine

I have an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience, a postgraduate masters in Clinical Neuroscience and A Levels in Biology, Psychology and English (AAB). Should I apply to do an access course in A Level Chemistry before applying to do Medicine? I am currently looking into ways to expand my healthcare/social experience anyway so should I also make time for this course as well?

A lot of medical schools don't really take into account your A levels, such as warwick and newcastle. Some say you don't need chemistry at A level as long as your degree had sufficient chemistry in it. It really depends on the medical school and what level degree you have.

Wow I'm in the same position, how would you take a level chemistry will you be doing it privately at home & pay or at a institution?

I'd say go for doing alevel chem it expands so many more courses and job opportunities!

A lot of GEM courses don't care for your A-level results and instead focus on entrance exams (GAMSAT, UKCAT, BMAT) as a means to test applicants capabilities. Unless your heart is set on applying for a GEM course which does require you to have A-level Chem I wouldn't bother.

It doesn't really benefit you in the course itself, in my opinion. I did chem at a level, and I don't feel like I use that much of it in the medicine degree
