      Is there a Careers Officer at school you can ask? As a psychologist (a paediatric one at that I know), I would not be so sure about advising. My guess is the key sciences (biology, chemisty, physics etc) but that’s a huge guess. I wanted to reply and say something.

      I work with paediatricans sometimes in my research and it is a super cool career. Good luck!

    Hi Emily, I am a Paediatric doctor, you have to take the subjects required for entry into Medicine – this might be different between universities. So, first have a look at the universities you are considering applying to, and find their requirements for MBBS, then select the A Levels you want to do. It used to be that you needed Maths an 1 core science such as Chemistry / Biology, however, this might have changed since I did my A Levels! Hope this helps.
