    OET Listening Part B Practice: Six Clinical Extracts | The OET Podcast (S3E2)

    In this episode of the OET Podcast, practise your OET Listening Part B skills with six short extracts from a range of realistic healthcare settings. Listen carefully to each extract and choose the correct answer by identifying the main idea, speaker's purpose, intention and implied meaning — not just the individual words you hear. You'll practise how to: • Identify the main point of short healthcare conversations and monologues • Recognise a speaker's purpose, attitude and intention • Understand meaning that may be implied rather than directly stated • Distinguish important information from distracting details • Make confident answer choices under listening time pressure The six extracts take you across different healthcare situations, including a nurse explaining insulin therapy, a post-surgical nursing handover, colonoscopy preparation instructions, sepsis training for new graduate nurses, a seasonal flu vaccination announcement, and a physiotherapy consultation following knee surgery. After completing all six questions, listen again with the answers revealed and identify any clues or details you may have missed during the first listening. This episode is ideal for doctors, nurses, international medical graduates and other healthcare professionals preparing for the Occupational English Test (OET) who want realistic Part B listening practice and greater confidence understanding different speakers, roles and clinical settings.

    Endometriosis & OET Listening Part A | The OET Podcast (S3E1)

    In this episode of the OET Podcast, practise your OET Listening Part A skills with a realistic GP consultation involving a young woman presenting with worsening period pain and symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. 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 from a natural doctor–patient conversation  • Recognise important information about pain, symptoms and medical history  • Pick out relevant family, medication, allergy and social history  • Distinguish essential clinical information from conversational detail  • Record answers accurately using the patient's own words The consultation explores worsening cyclical abdominal pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, nausea, family history of endometriosis, pain management and the impact of symptoms on everyday life. You'll also hear the doctor discuss possible endometriosis and the next steps in investigation and management. 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 practice and greater confidence understanding clinical conversations.
