His passion for neurosurgery led him to The Institute of Neurological Sciences in Glasgow, where he underwent specialised neurosurgical training. Mr Kitchen continued his experience at The Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery and Alder Hay Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, UK.

He completed his Paediatric Neurosurgery fellowship training at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK. A notable aspect of Mr Kitchen’s career is his involvement in formal academic research at The University of Manchester, where he contributed to The Brain Injury Research Group’s efforts, focusing on neurosurgical aspects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) infection.
