just my 2p of advice, i think you should contact the admissions tutors as soon as possible and make that your priority, try Manchester and then those you could easily commute to. Email them details of everything you've studied before, explain the situation you are in (mature student) it helps if you've had some experience in the field - as suggested work experience so you can talk about it...these are the first steps and ask what qualification they are looking for. They do look favourably at mature students especially those that have done a degree before.
Try searching your local colleges for courses that can lead onto medicine/medical related degrees.
Also just another thing, you will be responsible to pay your own fees, which currently is £3145 however some universities are charging international fees as gov has ceased funding uni's for those wanting to do a second degree...this unfortunately impacted on my friend who worked really really hard to get in to SOP, got the grades and then had to regrettably decline as they were asking £12,300 a year.
Best of Luck
