OET Writing Test Referral Letter | Samples and Tips for Nurses

OET letter writing is categorised in 3 types mainly. These are

It’s important to note that regardless of the type of letter, the approach to writing an OET letter is the same.

A referral letter is typically addressed to a new medical professional with a request for specific care/investigations/management.

Given below is the preparation of a sample referral letter (medicine) based on Official OET case notes. It is written by a doctor and addressed to another doctor. It’s an excellent scenario where writing sub-test case notes selection is tricky and identification of diagnosis/chief complaint requires careful reading. Note, in the sample letter, the writer has covered only the relevant OET case notes while summarising as much as possible. Use of conjunctions and transitions is also quite effective throughout.

Follow the 40 tips given in the sample, and you will find that securing A or B for OET writing sub-test is much easier than thought.

Dear Dr Roberts

RE: Ms Anne Hall, DOB: 19/9/1972

Now, let us take a stepwise approach to composing each paragraph.

Introduction
Patient, Medical Issue & Purpose

The purpose of the letter should be immediately apparent to the reader; therefore, it is discussed in the introduction paragraph.

Writing ‘introduction’ of a referral OET letter is similar to other types of letters such as a transfer or a discharge letter. It covers the full name of the patient, introduces the medical complaint and generally discusses the reason(s) for writing the letter.

Tip 8: Keep in mind that excluding the purpose would affect your score negatively.

Tip 9: Read the ‘Note’ & ‘Writing Task’ given at the start and end of the case notes respectively to identify the purpose.

Tip 10: You may use the key word ‘refer’ to indicate the purpose as you are introducing the patient to another healthcare professional for the first time.

Tip 11: Keep the introduction succinct to make the purpose immediately apparent to the reader.

TIP 12: Avoid secondary information/details that may obscure the objective of introduction.

Tip 13: Avoid using ‘a/the/this/my patient’ to refer to the patient in the letter as it is considered less polite.

Tip 14: Write full name with title at the first occurrence in the introduction as the patient is an adult.

Tip 15: In introduction, the purpose should be general information related to expected care/action. A specific & detailed plan should be included in conclusion.

Tip 16: Avoid using note/short forms; it is informal. For example, +/-

Introduce the patient. Refer NOTES and PATIENT DETAILS

… 45-year-old female patient

Anne Hall (Ms), DOB 19 Sep 1972

Social History: Teacher (Job can be included as it may be causing stress, but subjects taught are irrelevant)

Medical Complaint: Refer Provisional Diagnosis

Provisional diagnosis: gastro-oesophageal reflux +/- stricture

Reason for writing the letter: Refer Writing Task.

… for further investigation and definitive diagnosis

The introduction of your OET letter is now

I am writing to refer Ms Anne Hall, a 45-year-old school teacher who has features of gastro-oesophageal reflux with possible stricture, for further investigation and a definitive diagnosis.

Body Paragraph 1
Presenting Complaints

Refer Information Dated ’18 Jun 2018’ and Patient Details for BMI.

Tip 17: Relevant information. Select what the reader (a gastroenterologist) should keep in mind while the patient is in his care.

Presenting complaint(s)

(Possible) background of the complaint(s)

Examination Findings/Further Discussion

Addition Relevant Information Given by the Patient

Tip 18: Use second name with appropriate title when referring to the (adult) patient initially in a paragraph.

Tip 19: Avoid using pronouns to refer to the patient at the first occurrence in a paragraph.

Tip 20: Avoid using brackets; it is informal. Rephrase without them.

Tip 21: Avoid capitalizing generic drug name(s).

Let’s compile relevant information and compose the body paragraph 1 as follows.

Today, Ms Hall complained of constant dysphagia for solids, epigastric pain radiating posteriorly to the T12 level, and concomitant 1-2kg weight loss. According to her, the symptoms started 2 weeks ago after a viral URTI, for which she took an OTC Chinese herbal medicine with unknown ingredients. She had no apparent signs of anxiety and denied sensation of any lump. She is overweight with a BMI of 28.2. Please note, she reported occasional use of aspirin up to 2-3 times a month and a recent increase in her coffee intake.

Body Paragraph 2
Past Medical/Social/Family History

Tip 22: Relevant information/details: Identify possible triggers or risk factors related to GERD that will help the gastroenterologist to arrive at a conclusion and decide on an action plan.

Tip 23: Sequence relevant information based on importance.

Tip 24: Irrelevant information/details: Any information not related to the chief complaint of the patient and not useful to the reader, a gastroenterologist, to initiate the expected care/action should be ignored. Otherwise, it may confuse the reader, and even be counter-productive as it may increase the length of your letter.

Paternal grandfather – died ‘old age’ 94

Tip 25: Use second name with appropriate title when referring to the (adult) patient initially in a paragraph. Avoid using pronouns to refer to the patient at the first occurrence in a paragraph.

Let’s compile relevant information and compose the body paragraph 2 as follows.

Ms. Hall is divorced and has two children. She received treatment for depression in 2006 following her divorce, sought weight reduction in 2008, had dyspepsia in 2012 and was on oral corticosteroids for dermatitis in 2014. She does not smoke but drinks socially, mainly spirits. She is allergic to codeine and has a family history of peptic ulcer.

Body Paragraph 3
Advice Given

Refer ‘Plan’

Tip 26: Advice given to the patient to be considered.

Tip 27: Avoid including ‘Refer gastroenterologist for opinion and endoscopy…’ as the letter is written to the gastroenterologist.

Plan: Refer gastroenterologist for opinion and endoscopy if required

↓ coffee/alcohol intake

Cease OTC product

Pantoprazole 40mg daily

Tip 28: Avoid using note/short forms; it is informal. For example, /, ↓.

Tip 29: Shift the focus from the writer (I/we) as much as possible to maintain formal style. For example, avoid using ‘I advised …’.

Tip 30: Avoid capitalizing generic drug name(s).

This paragraph can be written as below.

Ms Hall is advised to reduce her coffee and alcohol intake, stop taking the over-the counter product immediately and take pantoprazole 40mg daily.

Conclusion
Expected Care/Action by the Reader

After briefing the reader on the patient’s complaints and medical/social/family history and the advice given, conclude the letter explaining the purpose of the letter in detail (what exactly is expected from the reader).

Refer ‘Plan’.

Plan: Refer gastroenterologist for opinion and endoscopy if required

↓ coffee/alcohol intake

Cease OTC product

Pantoprazole 40mg daily

Tip 31: Give an introductory phrase to link the conclusion to the above-mentioned information.

Tip 32: Ensure no information related to expected care/action is excluded.

Tip 33: Note that only the information related to further care is selected from the earlier parts of case notes (see the underlined information).

Tip 34: Make sure the tone used is polite and formal.

Therefore, the letter can be concluded as below.

Given the above, Ms Hall is referred to you for an endoscopy if required and your opinion on further management.

Closing Sentence
Not included in Word Count

Tip 35: You can be relieved that the closing sentence is not considered for ‘word count’. However, remember not writing closing sentence may affect your score negatively.

Tip 36: A typical polite closing sentence can be written as the addressee can get back to the writer if he needs more information about the patient.

Tip 37: It should be polite and should not include informal words and phrases.

For any further information, please contact me.

Complementary Close
Yours…..

Tip 38: Use appropriate salutations in the letter.

Yours sincerely (If the name of the recipient is given.)

Yours faithfully (If the name of the recipient is NOT given.)

Tip 39: Write the name of the profession/designation indicated in the case notes. You may give the name of the hospital or organization if given (optional).

Tip 40: Leave a single blank space between all sections.

In this case, the name of the reader is given.

Yours sincerely,
Doctor

Azithromycin 1 gram seems to be a one time dosage, not to be repeated. It has already been administered. So wouldn’t it be better to write “Patient has been advised to avoid sexual contact for the next seven days” rather than “advised not to have sexual contact for seven days after treatment”?
Reply
1. admin says:
  January 18, 2019 at 2:20 pm
  Hi Paul, First of all, it is always “the patient”. With respect to the tense, past simple is required rather than present perfect. Please read the sample letter after which you can find at the bottom of the webpage. The sentence reads like this: She was prescribed Azithromycin 1 gram and advised to avoid sexual contacts for 7 days after the treatment.
  With respect to administration of the medicine – are you sure the medicine was given in the clinic by the nurse?

    First of all, I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful work you do for OET aspirants. It’s really helpful.
    I wish to ask a doubt if I may.
    It’s about the sentence construction.
    In the reply above, the sentence reads like this :
    She was prescribed….. and advise to avoid…… .
    My doubt is that “don’t we have to use “was advised ” in the given sentence “?
    Please reply, Thank you.

      No, you don’t need to, ‘was prescribed’ shows this is a passive sentence and another ‘was’ is superfluous.
