      You need to study medicine at university first (5yrs) and so you need the GCSE and A-levels to get there (excellent GCSEs and 3 A or A* A levels incl Chemistry)

      There are a number of options for pathology you can either do the medicine route or you can do biomedical sciences and work in hospitals and laboratories with other doctors and health care professionals.

      There’s lots of information here about the different areas of pathology, the four main ones being tissues and cell, blood, chemistry of the body and infections.
