For Olympiads, the Cambridge chemistry challenge is quite good and also should help with the A* hard a level questions. I’ve done the Biology Intermediate Olympiad and it was quite nice, not too high stakes and mostly relying on gcse or general knowledge. For maths consider the Senior Maths Challenge.

I know that Minds Underground runs a medicine essay competition annually. As well as this, you can write for the Medic Mentor Magazine, either in their quarterly essay competition or just an article to contribute to their monthly edition.

There is the Isaac Physics Senior Physics Challenge (SPC) that runs each academic year for year 12s. It starts in September and goes through to May I think and covers maths and physics. You can win prizes, even a place on a Cambridge summer school, and certificates.
