I'm not sure if it's actually possible to do this but, is there any way to set my phone so that if I get a notification, it doesn't turn the screen on but if I turn the screen on it will appear on the lock screen? & is there any way to access the notifications centre on the lock screen?

You just pull down the notification centre from the top on the lock screen like you would if the phone was unlocked. With regard the first part of the issue i dont think its possible to have a notification set to show on the lock screen without it turning on.

Thank you. For some reason I can't access notification centre on the lock screen of my iPhone running iOS 8 but I can on my iPad running iOS 8. Any idea why?
 
Yep it's the same for me. I have the control centre turned off for lock screen but I turned this on and it made no difference to the notification centre.
