Are you confused about the job description of some of the recipients of your OET writing tasks? Do you know what a lactation consultant or a residential home warden actually does? I'm a doctor from the UK, and an OET preliminary provider English Tutor, and I will attempt to explain these roles and how you should use this knowledge for the OET writing task.
I was asked to make this video by OET self study ( ) to help clarify some job roles.
I have attempted to summarise all of the many potential recipients of an OET letter. Of course this is a huge topic so I have had to summarise and over-simplify some job roles in order to cover everything in a relatively short video. I have used the UK healthcare system as a point of reference, but the Australian healthcare system is very similar.
The roles I have covered are as follows:
Doctors:
General Practitioner (GP)
Surgeon (often with the title “Mr/Ms” in the UK)
General Surgeon, vascular surgeon, ENT surgeon etc
Obstetrician, gynaecologist, ophthalmologist
Medical Specialists:
Gastroenterologist, Endocrinologist etc
Physician (Acute Physician, Respiratory Physician)
Paediatrician
Anaesthetist
Intensivist
Radiologist
Emergency Medicine Specialist
Junior Doctor
Nurses:

Community Nurse
District Nurse
Practice Nurse
Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN)
Nurse Practitioner
Advanced (Care) Practitioner
Allied Health Professionals:
Physiotherapist
Occupational Therapist
Midwife

Dietician
Speech and Language Therapist
Operating Department Practitioner
Technologist/Technician
Lactation Consultant
Paramedic
Optician
Non medically trained professionals:
Social Worker

Nursing Home Manager (clarify, possibly also a nurse)
Practice Manager
Medical Secretary
