I’d take HFT, it links to biology, and you get to learn about real diseases.

At what level? A university medical school would want to see rigour and deep thought, and Geography would provide that. It isn't the hardest A level, but it certainly isn't one of the easier ones either. It is a traditional subject, which counts for a lot. The OP should already be doing Biology and Chemistry to get into Medicine, although a few medical schools might accept Maths or Physics instead.

Higher. Your learning about different foods and it’s effect on the body. And the different diseases that can be caused by a lack. It doesn’t matter what subject the OP takes. Though HFT would give them an insight into the types of subjects they’ll be learning in Y1

I worked as a Food Technologist, and l know about the subject at uni level, although l didn't study it for my degree. The subject isn't compatible with Medicine. Certainly for Dietetics, but not Medicine.
