GAMSAT or A levels?

I studied Human Anatomy with 2:2, and Postgraduate Certificate in Cardiovascular Health and Rehabilitation, i need information on which exam would get me into medicine, either GAMSAT or A levels. Or, i was thinking of going back to undergraduate to study Physiotherapy for 3 years and strive to graduate with 1st,and then apply straight to medicine (graduate entry). Please, if anyone can help with extensive information on what to do.

Also, no, do not study another degree just to try to get a first. It will be extremly expensive and an absolute waste of time.

Also, to add.... quite a large proportion of med schools will only accept first degree result, not subsequent degrees. Therefore, even if you graduate from your second degree with a 1st, it will be useless for a lot of entry requirements and you've just signed yourself up for £30K+ of more student debt

Thank you very much for the information
Nottingham accept students with a 2:2 and GAMSAT. I think that St Georges also accepts either a 2:1 OR an MSC. A second option would be to do an access to medicine course but defintely don't do a second degree as this grade wouldn't count towards your application anyway. 😊
