Gcse and a level

I recently moved to London from Pakistan. I'm 16+. I don't have gcse but I'm really a good student. I want to study medicine (general practitioner). Don't know the steps. Also want to know the other great opportunities. Someone plz guide me.

So I assume you’re about to do A-levels/college/apprenticeship. The traditional route would be alevels in bio,chem and then whatever else. Then go to uni and do an undergraduate medicine degree, then post graduate you can go to medical school and specialise after a couple years to be a GP, then do GP training. All in all it will take several years (I think about 7+) to be a GP. I think you can also go down an apprenticeship route but I don’t know much about it. Hope that helps. Would recommend looking at other medicine professions too- there are so many!

Well that depends on what you view “best” as being. Best paid?- medical director/ neurosurgeon
Easiest to get into?- caregiver/medical secretary
Least stressful- diagnostic medical sonographer
Most in demand?- emergency medical technician/ dietician
I would recommend searching it up online and only using data from reliable sources
