A levels resitting for medicine in UK

So most medical schools in UK say they don't accept " A level resits". Do they mean that they don't accept students to resit the grade 12 exams or do they mean any exam in the whole 2 years of A levels. Like Is it acceptable if I only resit for 2 or 3 AS level exams (grade 11), but I don't resit any grade 12 exams and achieve the minimum A level, can i still get into most of the medical schools in the UK?

They usually mean that you took 3 subjects to full A level on a standard two year course, didnt get the required grades and are now retaking. "Three years A levels" where you repeated year 1 for whatever reason, are often viewed differently and you need to email each Uni and ask.

Btw, Bristol has no problem either with resits or 3-year A levels.

So what if I resit a few AS exams only in the start of grade 12(Oct/nov), do my A level exams and get the required grades, is that fine? Since it will all be within the standard two year course
