Endocrinologist recommendations in/near West Sussex for Addison's / adrenals

Can anybody recommend an endocrinologist in West Sussex or nearby please who knows about adrenals and Addison's? It comes as no surprise to me, but a private blood screen has just shown very low cortisol levels and a couple of other bits, that suggest an adrenal problem, possibly Addison's. I've not been impressed by general consultants claiming to know about endocrinology whom I have seen before in this area, so keen to get recommendations this time. Having pretty much demanded a GP appointment (they wanted to make me do the call at 08:30 lottery) despite the blood testing company's own GP saying it was urgent, I want to be ready with a recommended name when I do speak with the GP. Any recommendations much appreciated.

You are advised to get full thyroid profile bloods done to include TSH, FT4 & FT3 + vitamins ferritin, folate, B12 & D3 and antibodies before your appointment to avoid wasting your first visit.
