Welcome back to OET Roleplay Practice with Kevin, The English Native – your go-to podcast for OET Speaking test preparation and practical English for healthcare professionals. In this episode, we dive into a realistic OET Medicine roleplay: 👉 A doctor–parent consultation after a child’s recent asthma diagnosis. You’ll learn how to: Build rapport and empathy with the parent. Ask clear, structured clinical history questions. Explain asthma triggers, inhaler use, and lifestyle adjustments. Give practical management advice in simple, patient-friendly English. 🩺 Why This Roleplay Matters In the OET Speaking sub-test, you’ll often face scenarios where you must explain conditions, reassure patients, and give health advice. This asthma management consultation is a common exam theme – so practising it can boost your confidence and fluency. This roleplay focuses on: Exploring concerns (“How are you feeling about the diagnosis?”) Explaining clearly (“Asthma is a long-term condition where…”) Checking understanding (“Does that make sense so far?”) Collaborating on a plan (“Would you like me to go over some tips for reducing triggers?”) 🧑‍⚕️ Practise Along Here’s how to get the most from this episode: Listen once without the transcript – test your comprehension.
