He said most of the BMAT university require high gcse grades e.g oxford, cambridge etc.

Are there any recommend medical schools which will consider him with his GCSE 's and the fact he had a mitigating circumstance

Yes. He needs to A call the unis and ask about their procedure( I have called each of the uni's I'm applying to dozens of times with questions, it should be easy to reach the admissions team) , and B speak to his school/college to support him when adding it to his application.

Ask your friend to contact each university he wants to apply to individually (to enquire if they allow mitigating circumstances, explore the options available to him etc).
