In this episode of the Medical English Podcast, we dive into a procedure you will see frequently in clinical practice: endoscopy. While you know the physiology, our focus is on the language you need to communicate clearly, professionally, and reassuringly with patients and colleagues.

You’ll learn how to:
• Explain what an endoscopy is and why it’s performed
• Master essential vocabulary including endoscope, biopsy, sedation, colonoscopy, and perforation with correct pronunciation
• Translate technical medical terms into patient-friendly language
• Avoid common communication mistakes such as jargon, confusing abbreviations, and overly formal phrasing

We cover the clinical context, practical patient instructions, and strategies to make patients feel safe and informed. Learn how to explain sedation simply, describe biopsies clearly, and reassure patients about rare complications like perforation.

This episode is perfect for doctors, nurses, international medical graduates, and healthcare professionals preparing for exams like the OET, who want to improve their practical communication skills alongside medical knowledge.
