It's not an A level but an alternative Level 3 qualification https://www.wjec.co.uk/qualifications/medical-science-level-3/#tab_overview

You get UCAS points for it. WJEC say about it
A significant proportion of career opportunities in this sector are at degree level. When supported by other appropriate qualifications, the Level 3 Applied Certificate/Diploma in Medical Science will enable progression to higher education to a range of Applied Science programmes, such as biomedical science, life sciences, and physiology.

If you're uncertain whether it would be accepted for a specific course then I'd recommend emailing the admissions tutor to ask.,
WJEC Diplomas are not as 'academic' as A levels and many top Universities will not accept them - in particular the Medical Science diploma is usually not regarded as equivalent to an A level in a science.
