OET Listening Parte B: Prioritizing Patient Referrals

So what did the trainer say we have to do?

Well, we've got to look through these case notes... ten sets in total,

and decide which of the patients should be referred to the consultant as a matter of urgency, and which can wait.

Oh, right.

And did I hear him say there's a limited number you can refer?

Not exactly.

He said that we should put them in rank order according to the severity of the symptoms

and other factors evident from the case notes.

Once we've agreed on our list, we have to go and compare with another pair of trainees.

Okay.

Let's get started then.
