As part of his training, he rotated through several leading Irish hospitals, including University Hospital Galway, St. Vincent’s University Hospital, and St. James’s University Hospital. 

Following completion of his core cardiology training, Dr. Makki undertook advanced Fellowships in Complex Coronary Interventions and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) at Manchester Royal Infirmary between 2017 and 2020. He later worked there as a Consultant Cardiologist until 2022.

He is also an active participant in Ireland’s National Primary PCI Service for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
