Can you get a PhD with Pass master's from 80 rank university ?

I have always scored really nice all through my life from school to bachelor's even during my masters. I have PCOS and around the written exam time, I was getting bad periods for a month consecutively for 2 months which led to me being anemic and probably not being able to concentrate and stuff which got diagnosed a month or two after the exams doing multiple blood tests. I want to work for PCOS since I've faced alot through medicinal chemistry but now I'm scared that all my dreams are crashed. I am also volunteering at Cancer research UK, Alzheimer's UK, have finally found part times, joined multiple chemistry organizations as a student member. I don't know what to do ?
A year ago I had severely high cortisol spike issues as well.
Should I do a MRes or MPhil to compensate it ?

The answer is possibly. It depends how well you did at BSc level, where you would need at least 65% overall to be in contention for an interview. Worst case scenario is that you might have to fund the tuition fees yourself, whilst the uni might be able to cover the bench fees. Usually the Russell Group universities could potentially offer you the latter option. There is the PhD student loan for UK based students.

I had 70%+ in my bachelor's degree and all school either 10/10 CGPA or 91% along with alot of co curricular activities.

The top UK universities might still request a masters degree at merit or above.

For MPhil or MRes ?

MSc / MRes level. Chemistry is very expensive to study at PhD level, and there are far fewer funded places available compared to Biosciences / Medical Sciences.

When you said a rank 80 university, what exactly does that entail? If you have used the UK league tables, read them with extreme caution, as they aren't very good at measuring the prestige of a UK university. For example, Bradford and Hull are often ranked low, but their traditional name still carries more weight on paper than that of most of the former polytechnics.
