you can definitely study pharmacy at a lot of unis just check their requirements if they allow btec level 3. im not too sure for dentistry and what do you mean by "possibly work in a hospital"?

A general practitioner, also called a GP or generalist, is a physician who does not specialize in one particular area of medicine. GPs provide routine health care (e.g., physical examinations, immunizations) and assess and treat many different conditions, including illnesses and injuries.
^^ thats what it is basically
I think Cardiff accepts your qualifications for medicine

Yeah and I suggested something to you and then you explained what a GP is to me for no reason. Woman splaining is where a woman explains something to a man in a condescending way

no no, because you said hospital receptionist which is not related to GP doctor so I explained the meaning as I thought you didn't know. anyways thank you for your suggestion it was helpful
to become a gp you would need to study medicine which usually requires 3 As at a level. there are exceptions for foundation years which if youre eligible you can get in with lower grades like BBC-ABB but u would have to check the uni. some foundation years for medicine do allow btec students but doing a levels is better choice in most cases

Most universities would require taking a Biology A-Level, Chemistry A-Level and then a choice of either Maths or Physics A-Level. If you don't want to take maths then I'd strongly advise you to take Physics (and visa versa) :smile:

chemistry and biology is literally one of my best subjects but i know for a fact that if i take maths or physics i will fail because these are the two subjects im the worse in. what do you think i should choose instead of phy and maths, how about psychology but will it still allow me to become an doctor
