Neither is "better" than the other. They're very different careers involving very different knowledge.

In terms of A-level choices, A-level Maths/Physics/Chemistry would give you options for both sides (most engineering courses, nuclear or otherwise - there are only like 3 purely nuclear engineering courses as I recall at undergrad level currently? - plus about half of the medical schools in the UK).
