OET for Nursing

Start with the skill you want to improve

A patient may understand a leaflet and still struggle with shift work, transport or support at home. Nursing communication needs to uncover that practical obstacle before offering an explanation. Start by asking what matters to the patient; then explain one point, invite a response and agree the next step. Compare the scenario topics below to choose a course that gives you new situations to practise.

For writing practice, look at the recipient and purpose first. A discharge update and a referral need different details. Choose the course outline that matches the kind of communication you want to work on.
