Allergies & Medications: The Medication Review for OET & IELTS

Mr. Davies sits down with Dr. Bennett at Elmwood Surgery for a full medication review — the conversation that closes out his GP arc.
Nadia and Tom cover the vocabulary of a medication review: medication review, allergy, side effect, dosage, adherence, drug interaction, repeat prescription, generic medication, discontinue, and review appointment. Each term is defined with a natural example, then demonstrated in a realistic GP-patient exchange, followed by a slower repeat and a short quiz.
Medication and allergy vocabulary appears in nearly every OET Speaking role-play, regardless of profession, making this one of the highest-utility episodes in the series for exam preparation.
