Chemistry A-Level and becoming a Doctor

Currently, I'm only doing two sciences, being biology and physics, but not chemistry. If I wanted to become a doctor would it be okay to only have chemistry A-Level despite not having done it at GCSE?

No as every Medicine course at uni requires A-level Chemistry, but not necessarily the other two. Even if it required Biology, it requires Chemistry so no you wouldn't be able to do medicine without it.

I'd say yes! As long as you have the A-levels it should be fine. I will say though going from doing no chemistry to chem Alevel is a massive step uo so if you were going to do it i would be aware of that!
