Can i get into Medicine or Dentistry degree course without chemistry at A level?

Due to my GCSE school kept me at Foundation maths i got grade 5 (highest grade boundary is 5), it has not allowed me to take A level chemistry. I have 7 in Biology and business in GCSE.

So i have opted for Biology, Psychology and Business Studies at A levels.

Is there any alternative route (Foundation, Access courses or via biomedical degree) that can allow me to go into Medicine, Dentistry or Optometry without A level chemistry?

Thanks

Hi there, do a bit of research to find out! Don't take my word for it, but I don't believe Newcastle requires Chemistry for medicine (though do confirm this using their website or emailing their admissions team). I also know someone that didn't meet the entry requirements to study Chemistry at A Level at their sixth form, so they took it privately and achieved an A. They now study med at uni!
Good luck!
