The OET pharmacy course from Dr Hesham is a recorded, pharmacy-specific programme for pharmacists who need OET Pharmacy for registration abroad. It covers Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking with pharmacy letters, counselling role-plays and recall-based practice, so you can work towards the GPhC requirement: at least B in all four sub-tests in one sitting.
The course is built for pharmacists who need OET Pharmacy for registration abroad and want one clear route instead of scattered free material.
If you qualified outside Great Britain and are working towards GPhC registration, this course trains the OET Pharmacy tasks you will meet. The UK pathway guide explains where OET fits alongside OSPAP and the registration assessment.
The GPhC needs B in every sub-test, so one weak letter can cost you the whole sitting. The course teaches case-note selection, structure and tone for pharmacy readers, and Writing add-ons show you exactly what still costs marks.
All Ahpra National Boards, including the Pharmacy Board of Australia, accept OET. Check your destination in the Australia pathway guide or the Gulf pathway guide, then prepare with the same pharmacy method.
For the UK, the GPhC asks for OET Pharmacy with at least grade B (350) in each of the four sub-tests, achieved in one sitting. Other destinations set their own rules, so check the right regulator first.

The course is self-paced, but the route is fixed: diagnose, learn, get corrected, test yourself, then book.
OET Pharmacy Writing gives you 45 minutes (5 minutes of reading time and 40 minutes of writing) to turn a set of case notes into one letter with a body of about 180–200 words. There is no automatic penalty for writing slightly over or under that range.
Write to a GP about a dosage issue, a possible interaction, side effects or poor adherence, and say clearly what review or change you are asking for.
Report a dispensing or product problem, such as an expiry-date discrepancy, with the facts the reader needs and the action you expect.
Hand over a patient's medicines plan to another pharmacist, a nurse or a carer, focusing on what has changed and what they must monitor.
Six criteria: purpose, content, conciseness and clarity, genre and style, organisation and layout, and language. A clear purpose in the opening line and a specific final request protect marks across several criteria.
The most common reason pharmacists miss B is selection: copying every medicine and date instead of choosing what the reader needs to act on. See a full worked example in the OET writing sample for pharmacists, read the OET Writing tips, and use OET writing correction to see exactly what to fix in your own letters.
OET Speaking takes about 20 minutes and has two role-plays. You get 3 minutes to prepare each card and about 5 minutes to complete it, with the interlocutor playing the patient, a relative or a carer.
Examiners score clinical communication (relationship building, understanding the patient’s perspective, providing structure, gathering information and giving information) as well as intelligibility, fluency, appropriate language and grammar. A calm structure and patient-friendly explanations matter more than advanced vocabulary.
The recorded lessons give you pharmacy cards with expected ideas and useful language, and a private 1:1 session lets you rehearse them with feedback. Practise with the pharmacy role-play cards and read the OET Speaking tips before your session.
Listening and Reading are the same for every profession, so you sit exactly the same papers as nurses and doctors. What changes your score is method, not luck.
Part A is note completion from two consultations, Part B is short workplace extracts and Part C is longer presentations or interviews. Train prediction before each extract and write exactly what you hear, with correct spelling. See the OET Listening tips.
Part A is a strict 15-minute scanning task across four short texts; Parts B and C test detail, gist and inference. Use keyword anchors in Part A and eliminate distractors in Parts B and C. See the OET Reading tips.
Add-ons are tied to your active course and are the fastest way to fix the sub-test that is holding your score back.
