Hi, IB is good, yes but nothing that prestigious as tens of thousands of school leavers depart with this level of education. As for what you call 'medical school' in the UK, there are no 'medical schools'. Rather, there are many departments of 'Health Sciences' under which medicine appears as just one of many possible areas of academic study. As for your question about the IB counting in the UK, yes it will, But for studying medicine, you had best get A+ in at least three natural sciences and A's in everything else, Start doing research now if you want to enrol in medicine in Sept 2011. .

UK medical programs will only admit you, as a foreign student, if the medical education system in your home country is considered sub-par. So if that's the case, you can apply to UK med schools; but if that's not the case, you really cannot. My suggestion would be for you to go directly to the websites for some of the UK unis that offer medicine as a course, and see what they say about all this. You may also need to email them directly to talk over your situation.
