Can I confirm that you're based in the UK? If so, the key A Level is Maths + one other science (it doesn't need to be biology).
See the following degrees as examples:
https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/biomedical-engineering-beng
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduate/biomedical-engineering/ (requires physics)
https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/2024/biomedical-engineering-beng#entryreqs
https://www.mmu.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/course/beng-biomedical-engineering
https://www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/biomedical-engineering-beng-2024-25#entry_requirements
https://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/coursefinder/courses/2024/biomedical-engineering/ (requires physics or chemistry)

Having said the above, if you intend to go into biomedical engineering, I would recommend opting for a degree in mechanical engineeering. The key difference is that you can go into biomedical engineering with a degree in mechanical, but you can't go into mechanical engineering with a degree in biomedical (I think). Mechanical engineering would open you to fare more fields than biomedical, especially if you decide to switch fields at a later point.
