Background 

​

With a National Diploma in Sports and Exercise Sciences, Kyle developed an interest in sports injury, biomechanics and medical imaging. This encouraged him to study for an undergraduate degree in Diagnostic Radiography from Birmingham City University, qualifying with honours in 2007. Following a career developing skills in various medical imaging modalities working closely with orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists alike. 

Kyle extended his role further, receiving a post graduate diploma with distinction in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound in 2012.

​

Many Musculoskeletal Ultrasound examinations are performed by practitioners without formalised training.

In contrast, Kyle strived for several years for formal training, finally emerging with a distinction from Canterbury Christ Church University in his CASE accredited post graduate qualification in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.

Most recently, in order to strengthen his clinical knowledge in musculoskeletal pathology, Kyle took the extra step and became the first ever sonographer to qualify with a postgraduate certificate in Musculoskeletal Medicine from the University of Leeds, a course traditionally reserved for medics and first contact practitioners.
