Clinical Cases: practice for OET the way real consultations work

Each case is built around one patient and one clinical situation. You listen to a doctor-patient consultation and take notes, write a referral letter based on real case notes, then practise the same scenario as a speaking role-play. Three skills, one patient, one continuous story — Listening, Writing and Speaking working together instead of three separate, disconnected exercises. Every case includes audio dialogue with different accents, a full transcript, case notes, a writing task with a model answer, and a role-play card for speaking practice.

Clinical Cases

Practice OET the way real consultations work.

Each case is built around one patient and one clinical situation. You listen to a doctor-patient consultation, write a referral letter from real case notes, then practise the same scenario as a speaking role-play.

One patient. One story. Three OET skills, working together.

Why this is different

Most OET practice treats Listening, Writing and Speaking as separate exercises with separate, unconnected topics. In real clinical work, they're not separate — you listen to a patient, you document what matters, and you speak to the next person involved in their care.

Clinical Cases follows that same logic. The patient you hear in the audio is the same patient in your case notes and the same patient in your role-play card.

How each case works

Step 1 — Listen
Listen to a doctor-patient consultation. Take notes as you would in a real clinical setting. Then reveal the transcript and check what you caught.

Step 2 — Write
Use the case notes to write a referral letter, following the OET Writing format. Reveal a model answer and compare your structure, tone and choice of information.

Step 3 — Speak
Practise the same case as a speaking role-play, using a candidate card built from the same patient history.

See it in action

Case: Michael Henderson, 58 — Chest Pain in A&E

A delivery driver presents to A&E with central chest pain. Listen to the consultation, write the referral letter to cardiology, then practise breaking the news and answering his questions as a speaking role-play.

Different cases feature different accents — British, Australian, Irish — so you build the same flexibility OET Listening expects from you.
