You will need to do some GCSEs first and then some level 3 qualifications - A level, BTEC, etc. Have you looked at any local colleges?

I second Coursera but you can also look at Edx it's a good platform too but I guess Coursera has more courses that are ACTUALLY free for longer

Idk what you think of OpenLearn you could try that too

Also, maybe you could watch a med drama or two to boost your knowledge of the field and to have fun in the process
and to make it REALISITC you can watch a doctor critique the accuracy of said med dramas ( and or even talk to a dr you know ( like if you have a relative ofc))

My fave's are House M.D and The Good Doctor ( I watched TGD first actually but if you watch House first then TGD will likely be unwatchable to you. I know it's the SAME director but House is SOO much better tho). Dr Mike also said that both are pretty accurate shows ( Dr Mike also has reacted to a bunch of eps from both series).
