Is it worth doing any more virtual work experiences?

I have now completed 19 different medical virtual work experiences, volunteering at church and many clubs, have done shadowing internationally at a dentistry and am doing work experience for a week at Rolls Royce, plus around 26 completed online courses. But Ive talked to some friends and they think I've done too much and I wont be able to talk about most of this stuff in my application and/or in my interview, yet I still have loads of other virtual work experiences I could be doing. Is it worth doing them or is it just wasteful to do anymore?
(btw trying to go into the medical field, the goal is paramedicine)
(also, I am planning to do some more volunteering this summer)

For healthcare courses unis want to see two things - shadowing experience so that you understand the role, and public-facing work/volunteering experience to show that you can communicate with the general public. You appear to have the work/volunteering experience in order so focus your time on getting some shadowing experience. Contact your local ambulance trusts to arrange this.

Make sure that your personal statement isn't a list of every online course you have a done. Learn the NHS values and 6 Cs and reflect on what you have learnt during your work/volunteering experience. There is good advice on developing a PS for a vocational course in the following thread:

Hi thanks I will definitely try that. Would it be the same for apprenticeships too?
