School, school, school! You’ll need to graduate from a four year college - your degree choice there matters less than your GPA. It’s often a good idea to pick a school that has an affiliated medical school, since sometimes they are more likely to give a seat to a current student, all other things being equal.

Start by doing research - making a list of some of the things that you’re interested in, if you like working with people. If you can narrow it down to a specific field, that’s great. If you have a vague idea of about a job, read up on it to find out what kind of qualifications you’ll need - You can find basic information on a lot of different career fields at www.careerexplorer.net

Unfortunately, I’m not particularly familiar with the UK education system - you may wish to try exploring http://www.ucas.ac.uk/ - sorry I can’t be of more assistance!
