Doctor–Patient Conversations in English: 50-Minute Listening Marathon (B1–B2)

Watch the episode

Listen to seven doctor–patient conversations in English: 50 minutes of realistic medical role-plays, from a first GP visit to a pain history. The first four follow one patient, James Davies, from a GP appointment about headaches to the pharmacy counter, a follow-up at Elmwood Surgery and a medication review. Then come three new patients: a triage nurse checks Mrs. Davies's vital signs, Dr. Okafor helps a keen runner describe her knee pain, and Dr. Khan turns Andrew Blake's everyday words into clinical ones. You'll hear the language of the chief complaint, dosage instructions, the pain scale, drug intolerance and oxygen saturation, each conversation at normal speed, then its key lines more slowly. It suits B1–B2 learners and clinicians working in English, and helps with OET or IELTS Listening. Free PDF transcripts and quizzes are on each episode page.
