No idea . You will have to go through the list and read the entrance requirements. I think very few if any for direct entry.
Access to medicine courses tend to have an ongoing relationship with their local NHS trust.
A levels is still by far the most flexible and popular point of entry.

Access to medicine is a relatively new course.
In general med schools have always preferred A level v BTEC because they feel A level offers a more demanding test of someones abilities.
I think people making it direct to medicine are small in numbers compared to A levels. You might be able to get onto a bio med course with such a degree.
The other way is just to ask the access course you are contemplating how many of their students gained a direct medical place and the unis you are interested in what % of access students who apply are offered places.
I dont think there is one reliable place this information is ready as its pretty niche.

Hi. first of all there are a few colleges that offer Access to Medicine and then some medical schools will accept the Access to Medicine course from a specific college. Best way forward is to ring the medical schools you want to apply to and ask if they will accept the access to medicine course you plan to go into.
