SFE considers OT to be an exception course so you would be able to apply for funding despite your previous study. Pre-registration masters courses are eligible for undergraduate funding - both tuition fee and maintenance loans. You would also be able to apply to the NHS LSF for the annual training grant of £5,000.

Oh that is brilliant, thank you. Just to confirm I need to apply on the student finance website for the funding and it won't be a student loan? Thank you for your help.
They are student loans - you apply to Student Finance England (SFE) if you normally live in England.

The NHS Learning Support Fund training grant of £5k is not a loan and is not repayable, but you do have to show that you are eligible for student finance to apply for this:
