Can I get into medicine?

I just went into year 12. I'm studying A level maths, physics, chemistry and further maths. Assume that I manage to A/A* grades in these.
After A levels I'd like to study engineering (including aerospace, chemical, etc.), biochemistry, or even medicine. What I don't know is if I can get into medicine without biology. Can somey

I clicked post by accident. Here's the rest.

Can someone advise me? Are my subject choices suitable or should I reconsider.
Thanks

look at uni requirements, some want chem and bio and others want chem and one of bio maths physics

These are great A levels for all engineering courses. I think re medicine, it’s one thing to get on the course, it’s a completely different thing to understand and fulfil the very intense biology component of medicine without A level Biology. Personally, I think it would be a struggle, but then again the unis seem to think it’s ok. Your A level choices scream engineering and I can only think that strongly suggests that’s where your strengths lie. Good luck ☺️
