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.

Read along – notice useful phrases and patient-centred language.

Shadow the doctor’s lines – improve your intonation, fluency, and empathy.
