Medicine and the correct A Level combination

Hello,

I really want to become a doctor and study medicine at uni.

I definitely want to do A Level Maths, Biology, chemistry and physics.

How necessary is A Level Physics when applying to do a medical degree?

Would doing Psychology instead of physics disadvantage me?

some advice pls?

Either Physics or Psychology would be perfectly fine.
