Hello there! Thanks for your message, no I didn't do an access course as I met the academic entry qualifications but some of my cohort did access courses down in Dover and they do say that it has really helped them with the anatomy and physiology side of things, and also some of the psychology aspects which I obviously missed out on. Also access gets you into the swing of studying again which is really useful - it is a tough course! If I can help with anything specific feel free to get in touch (PM if you'd rather), and I'll do my best to help. Good luck with it all, and all the best for your daughter's op on the 10th.
