In this episode of OET Roleplay Practice with Kev, The English Native, we explore Roleplay Card #3: a consultation between a doctor and a patient worried they might have diabetes.

This roleplay is a practical example of how doctors can:
Gather patient information naturally
Show empathy and reassurance
Use structured, supportive explanations
Guide patients through next steps clearly

By listening carefully, you’ll learn how to:
Respond to patient concerns without sounding robotic
Use sequencing language for clarity
Balance medical accuracy with supportive communication
End the consultation with a safe, collaborative plan

👉 If you’re preparing for OET Speaking, these strategies will help you demonstrate empathy, responsiveness, and clarity — all essential for Band A performance.
