Tom plays the triage nurse who measures all five vital signs: blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, and respiratory rate. You'll hear every reading announced and explained in real clinical English, then handed over to the GP in a structured clinical handover. The language breakdown covers: vital signs vs "obs" (clinical shorthand) · how to say a blood pressure reading ("one twenty over eighty" — why "over," not "slash") · the three names for oxygen saturation (SpO2, sats, oxygen saturation) · triage nurse reassurance phrases · clinical handover structure. Ideal for OET Speaking & Listening, IELTS, NMC registration, and international nurses or doctors preparing for UK clinical placements. ── VOCABULARY ── Vital signs, Blood pressure, Heart rate, Oxygen saturation, Temperature, Respiratory rate, Triage, Pulse oximeter, Medical history (recall Ep. 04) and Clinical handover (recall Ep. 04) ── CHAPTERS ── 0:00 What happens at a GP triage assessment 2:02 Vocabulary: vital signs, blood pressure, oxygen saturation 7:22 Role-play: Mrs. Davies at the triage bay 12:44 Key exchanges (more slowly) 14:29 How nurses announce vital sign readings in English 17:52 Quiz: vital signs & blood pressure vocabulary ── LINKS ── 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes:    / @medicalvoicesenglish   🇫🇷 French channel:    / @medicalvoicesfrench   🌐 Site & PDF transcripts — https://medicalvoices.health/ #MedicalEnglish #MedicalVocabulary #LanguageLearning #HealthcareEnglish #EnglishPodcast #MedicalPodcast #LearnEnglish #NursingEnglish #MedicalVoices #OETPreparation #OETSpeaking #EnglishForNurses #MedicalEnglish #VitalSigns #BloodPressure #OxygenSaturation #OETPrep #EnglishForNurses #TriageNurse #MedicalVocabulary #NMC #IELTSMedicine
