In this episode of the OET Podcast, practise your OET Listening Part A skills with a realistic GP consultation involving a 34-year-old patient experiencing a persistent asthma flare-up. Listen to the consultation and complete the clinical notes by filling in the missing information using the exact words or phrases spoken by the patient — just like you may need to do in the OET Listening sub-test. You'll practise how to: • Identify key details about respiratory symptoms and their duration • Recognise potential asthma triggers from a natural patient conversation • Pick out relevant information about medication use, allergies and family history • Identify how symptoms are affecting sleep, work and physical activity • Record answers accurately using the patient's own words The consultation explores chest tightness, wheezing and shortness of breath, as well as potential triggers including cold air, strong smells and a recent respiratory infection. You'll also hear about increased reliever use, night-time symptoms and the impact of worsening asthma on the patient's work and everyday activities. After completing the exercise, listen again with the answers revealed so you can check your responses and identify any details you may have missed. This episode is ideal for doctors, nurses, international medical graduates and other healthcare professionals preparing for the Occupational English Test (OET) who want realistic Listening Part A practice and greater confidence extracting key clinical information from patient consultations.

In this episode of the OET Podcast, practise your OET Speaking skills with a realistic GP role-play involving a 27-year-old contact lens wearer presenting with a red, sticky eye. Work through an OET-style role-play card before listening to a model consultation that demonstrates how to gather relevant information, explain conjunctivitis clearly, provide practical advice and safety-net effectively. You'll practise how to: • Open an OET Speaking role-play confidently and take the lead in the consultation • Ask focused questions about symptoms, contact lens use and hygiene • Rule out important red flags including pain, photophobia and vision changes • Explain bacterial, viral and allergic conjunctivitis in patient-friendly language • Give clear advice about hygiene and when it is safe to resume contact lens use • Provide effective safety-netting and check the patient's understanding The role-play follows a patient with a red eye and sticky discharge who has continued wearing contact lenses despite their symptoms. You'll hear how the GP explores the history, identifies features consistent with conjunctivitis and explains the likely cause without overwhelming the patient with clinical terminology. You'll also learn practical OET Speaking strategies, including how to divide your time between information gathering and patient education, use comprehension checks throughout the consultation, and confidently initiate the conversation when the role-play begins.
