Can I study medicine with having applied science,psychology and health and social care
No, sorry. None of the medical degrees take applied science, and they all require a-level chemistry, and then either biology, maths or physics, although it’s best if all three are one of those.
You could go into something in healthcare instead? But it’s very hard to do medicine with applied science
This question has been asked before so here’s another thread that could help

That's not strictly correct. While the BTEC issue is I think likely a problem, it's not true that all medical schools require chemistry (about half do; most of the rest require A-level Biology; the others may require one of either bio or chem), and not all require bio/maths/physics as a second subject (most require two sciences but some also accept psychology as a science for that purpose), and it's not "best" to do three of those (only one medical school cares if your third A-level is a STEM subject). There's also one medical school (Newcastle) which doesn't have any A-level subject requirements.
However it is true that to maximise ones range of choices among medical schools, it's best to take biology and chemistry.

However as above I think most realistically require you to be doing at least 3 A-levels and it is true that without two sciences you have very, very limited options. Remember that medicine is fundamentally a scientific degree in the sense that knowledge of the basic medical sciences underpinning it are the thing which define the role of doctors within multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Thus most require a scientific background at A-level and regardless a formally academic background is preferred otherwise in general I gather.
If you have the option, I would suggest aiming to switch to biology and chemistry plus another subject to give yourself the most number of choices of medical schools to potentially apply to.
