2 weeks nhs experience shadowing medical team
2 years working as a volunteer In a community choir and doing charity events for our local community - you ?

Your choices aren't really UCAT heavy, especially Cardiff as they look more at GCSEs which you've done amazing at! Manchester have the holistic assessment so you should be fine and Liverpool aren't UCAT heavy either. Kings may be a potentially 'risky' option but your application stats otherwise is really good so I think you're in a great position
