If that doesn't work, you may have to consider taking A-Levels and reapplying; alternatively you may need to do a degree then going for graduate entry medicine (harder than standard undergrad medicine).

If you want to be a doctor you have to go to med school, you can’t go into medicine with biomedical science degree alone. But most med schools do integrated degrees so you can do medicine and biomed in 6 years

One can be a PhD doctor after doing Biomedical sciences (and studying further!) but not a medical doctor, you are right.

make sure you get tons of work experience. a good starting point would be working as a HCA

this is an extremely competitive route, but try to apply for gateway to medicine. only s few universities in the country accept it though, and they do accept BTEC. you also need to do a UCAT exam when applying.

You'll need to research yourself, a good starting point is here: https://www.medschools.ac.uk/media/2...al-schools.pdf (entry requirement for all UK med schools).
If that doesn't work, you may have to consider taking A-Levels and reapplying; alternatively you may need to do a degree then going for graduate entry medicine (harder than standard undergrad medicine).
