Need information on specialist consultant for DDD in London U.K

Hello my friend has Degenerative disc disease with cervical spondylitis & stenosis. She lives in London & is desperate to find a consultant who specialises in musculoskeletal conditions. If anyone has the same condition please could they give me the name of the consultant & hospital they are receiving treatment from. To date her GP hasn't manged to refer her to any one hospital or doctor who specialises in her condition, instead she gets passed from one doctor to another without any real answers or help, surely she cannot be the only person in the uk suffering from this condition. Would really appreciate some help for her on what hospital she could get herself referred to ? Thanks

Hi and welcome!

What about the National Orthopeadic Hospital at Stanmore? There surely must be a specialist there.
