Access courses are designed for those people who don't have the correct qualifications to enter a medical degree (either grades or subjects). They are usually offered by further education colleges and are not qualifications in medicine. Some medical schools accept them instead of A. levels, but you must check this out before applying, as the medical schools may only accept one or two! Also, some may have specific requirements e.g., come from the local area haven't done a science degree etc. People who go through access routes still have to write a personal statement and go for interview if they want to apply for medicine. Here are a list of institutions who provide access qualifications (links open in new windows):

University of Bradford

Lambeth College
City College Norwich
Manchester College of Arts and Technology
Birkbeck College, University of London
Sussex Downs College
College of West Anglia
