It depends on what you want to do. I follow the following steps:
1.
Look up the job profiles of the careers you want to go into
2.
Look up to see what sort of approved degrees you need to do (if relevant)
3.
Look up the list of approved degrees and then the entry requirements for the specific degrees individually.
So for pharmacy, the following are examples of job profiles for pharmacy:
https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/pharmacist
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/community-pharmacist
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/hospital-pharmacist
https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/pharmacy/roles-pharmacy/pharmacist
https://www.careerpilot.org.uk/job-sectors/medical/job-profile/pharmacist
The appropriate regulatory body for pharmacy in the UK is: General Pharmaceutical Council. The list of approved degrees are:
https://www.pharmacyregulation.org/education/approved-providers-education-and-training
The following unis accept BTECs, but they require them in applied sciences, not medical sciences:
https://www.aston.ac.uk/study/courses/pharmacy-mpharm
https://www.bath.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-2024/pharmacy/mpharm-pharmacy/#entry-requirements - require A Level chemistry on top
https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/med/pharmacy-4-year.aspx#EntryRequirementsTab - needs A Level chemistry on top
I am not going through the entire list, but the above should be a template for what you would need to do to look up what you need.
If you can't do A Levels in 6th form, you would likely need to do it outside of 6th form through online colleges/privately or an adult college that offers A Levels to 19+ year olds (upper age limit is around 25).
If you do A Levels privately, you should check with the uni whether you would specifically need to sit the practical assessments for the science A Levels as a private candidate as they can be a pain to do and some unis would overlook it if you specify it in your personal statement.
Prospects. National Careers Service, and Career Pilot are my general go to for job profiles. NHS Careers is for my go to when it's anything related to healthcare or job roles in the NHS/medical industry.

Really? In the same subject?
And no, without A level Chemistry you will be looking at a Foundation Year at best - that makes it a 5 year degree, are you ready for that sort of hard slog, and debt?
