First GP Appointment: Core Medical Vocabulary for OET & IELTS

A complete UK GP consultation, from chief complaint to follow-up plan — spoken naturally, then broken down term by term.
Nadia and Tom walk through a realistic first GP appointment, covering 10 essential clinical vocabulary terms: chief complaint, medical history, vital signs, blood pressure, allergy, symptoms, prescription, follow-up, over-the-counter, and referral. Each term gets a clear definition and an example drawn straight from the dialogue, followed by a full-speed role-play and a short comprehension quiz.
This episode is built for OET Speaking preparation, IELTS healthcare-context vocabulary, and any internationally trained nurse or doctor preparing to work in an English-speaking clinical setting.
