Earthbound- mental health and a criminal record don't automatically bar you from working in the nhs anymore,well not in my area.
Apparently they're having a shake up and will accept people with ongoing mh problems and criminal records on an individual basis(as in they look at each applicant individually).
If its something you really want to do maybe see if you can speak to someone in hr of your local trust and ask them about volunteering to start with?
That's the route i have to take,volunteer first then when I've done 6-8 months i can apply for paid jobs. I too have a criminal record so other can be done.
Worth a shot if its something you really want to do.x
