In this episode of The OET Podcast, you’ll practise OET Listening Part A with a realistic paediatric consultation between a GP and a parent concerned about her child’s ongoing respiratory symptoms. The dialogue explores an eight-year-old with persistent cough, poor weight gain, and frequent chest infections, raising the possibility of cystic fibrosis.

This listening activity helps you build confidence in:

• Understanding natural clinical conversations
• Extracting key details to complete consultation notes
• Recognising tone, emotion, and implication in patient communication

Designed for OET candidates, healthcare professionals, and medical English learners, this episode mirrors the structure and pacing of the official OET Listening Part A test.
