Alevel Science Practicals

Im currently undecided between Law or Medicine for university, my question is will I be accepted on a course for medicine if I have not done the practicals? I study virtually and the practicals are not included on the courses I am on. If I do need the practicals where am I likely to find coverage to do those? Is it worth reaching out to local secondary schools, where have other people done theirs?

They should specify in the entry requirements of the individual degree. I would very much doubt it if it's medicine, since it's very much a hands on subject.

Your course should cover the material for practicals, but to do the assessments for the practicals you would need to google for local assessment centres approved by your exam boards.

Is it worth reaching out to local secondary schools, where have other people done theirs?
Reaching out to secondary schools is not likely going to cut it, especially if they are not qualified exam centres for your exam boards to offer you those assessments. Of course, I am not saying you shouldn't try but I would say expect a high rejection rate.
