Full transcript with model answers
Under each segment: a model interpretation, the information points an examiner checks, and the easiest thing to miss. Try the segment yourself first, then open it. The model is one good way to say it; other wordings that keep every point score just as well.
Before your GP reviews this entry, Mr Vora, could you explain what happened after the medicine? Your record at our Ryde clinic has an allergy warning for breathing difficulty.
Model answer and marking points
વોરાસાહેબ, તમારા જીપી આ નોંધની સમીક્ષા કરે એ પહેલાં, દવા લીધા પછી શું થયું હતું એ સમજાવશો? અમારા રાઇડ ક્લિનિકમાં તમારા રેકોર્ડમાં શ્વાસ લેવામાં તકલીફ માટે એલર્જીની ચેતવણી છે.
What an examiner checks here:
- Mr Vora addressed
- Before GP reviews the entry
- question: what happened after taking the medicine?
- Record at Ryde clinic
- Allergy warning for breathing difficulty
Easy to miss: The record contains an allergy warning; the speaker is not confirming that breathing difficulty actually occurred.
દવા લીધા પછી મને ઉબકા આવ્યા હતા અને ચક્કર આવ્યાં હતાં. પણ મને શ્વાસ લેવામાં કોઈ તકલીફ થઈ નહોતી. એ વાત નોંધમાં ખોટી લખાઈ છે.
Model answer and marking points
After taking the medicine, I felt nauseous and dizzy. But I didn't have any difficulty breathing. That has been recorded incorrectly.
What an examiner checks here:
- Nausea after taking the medicine
- Dizziness after taking the medicine
- No breathing difficulty
- Breathing difficulty recorded incorrectly
Easy to miss: Do not lose the explicit denial of breathing difficulty.

Interpret it aloud now →The entry is dated 9 September. You said you felt nauseous and dizzy, without breathing problems. How long did those symptoms last, and did you seek help?
Model answer and marking points
આ નોંધ ૯ સપ્ટેમ્બરની છે. તમે કહ્યું કે તમને ઉબકા અને ચક્કર આવ્યાં હતાં, પણ શ્વાસ લેવામાં તકલીફ નહોતી. એ લક્ષણો કેટલો સમય રહ્યાં હતાં અને તમે કોઈની મદદ લીધી હતી?
What an examiner checks here:
- Entry dated 9 September
- Reported nausea and dizziness
- No breathing problems
- question: how long did the symptoms last?
- question: was help sought?
Easy to miss: Keep both questions: symptom duration and whether help was sought.
હા, નવમી સપ્ટેમ્બરની જ વાત છે. આ તકલીફ લગભગ બે કલાક રહી હતી. હું ઘરે જ હતો અને આરામ કરતો હતો. મેં કોઈ ડૉક્ટરની મદદ લીધી નહોતી.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, it was the ninth of September. The symptoms lasted about two hours. I stayed at home and rested. I didn't seek help from any doctor.
What an examiner checks here:
- Confirms 9 September
- Symptoms lasted about two hours
- Stayed at home
- Rested
- Did not seek help from any doctor
Easy to miss: The symptoms lasted approximately two hours, and no doctor's help was sought.
I'll add your account for the GP to review, while keeping the original entry visible. Do you remember the medicine's name or have its packaging?
Model answer and marking points
હું તમારી વાત જીપીની સમીક્ષા માટે ઉમેરીશ અને મૂળ નોંધ પણ દેખાતી રાખીશ. તમને દવાનું નામ યાદ છે કે તમારી પાસે એનું પેકેટ છે?
What an examiner checks here:
- Will add patient's account
- GP to review the account
- Original entry will remain visible
- question: remembers the medicine's name?
- question: has the packaging?
Easy to miss: Adding the patient's account does not mean deleting or hiding the original entry.
અત્યારે નામ યાદ નથી આવતું, પણ દવાનું પેકેટ ઘરે છે. હું એનો ફોટો બતાવી શકું છું. તો શું તમે મારા રેકોર્ડમાંથી એલર્જીની ચેતવણી કાઢી નાખશો?
Model answer and marking points
I can't remember the name right now, but the medicine's packaging is at home. I can show you a photo of it. So will you remove the allergy warning from my record?
What an examiner checks here:
- Cannot remember medicine's name right now
- Medicine packaging is at home
- Can show a photo of the packaging
- question: will the allergy warning be removed from the record?
Easy to miss: Removing the allergy warning is a question, not an agreed action.
The GP will decide how the reaction should be described. I can record your correction request, but I cannot confirm today that the allergy warning should change.
Model answer and marking points
આ પ્રતિક્રિયાની નોંધ કઈ રીતે કરવી એ જીપી નક્કી કરશે. હું તમારી સુધારાની વિનંતી નોંધી શકું છું, પણ એલર્જીની ચેતવણી બદલવી જોઈએ એવું હું આજે ખાતરીપૂર્વક કહી શકું નહીં.
What an examiner checks here:
- GP will decide how to describe the reaction
- Can record the correction request
- Cannot confirm today that the allergy warning should change
Easy to miss: The speaker cannot confirm a change today; they are not saying the warning will never change.
સમજાયું. મારી ઇચ્છા એટલી જ છે કે જે થયું હતું એ સાચું નોંધાય. ડૉક્ટર પહેલાં તપાસી લે તો સારું. આ વિશેની મારી મુલાકાત કઈ તારીખે છે?
Model answer and marking points
I understand. I just want what happened to be recorded accurately. It would be good for the doctor to check it first. What date is my appointment about this?
What an examiner checks here:
- Understands the explanation
- Wants an accurate record of what happened
- Would like the doctor to check first
- question: date of the appointment about this?
Easy to miss: The patient supports a doctor's review first and asks for the appointment date.
Your review is booked for 5 November. Please bring the packaging and any notes about that day, including when you took the medicine and noticed symptoms.
Model answer and marking points
તમારી સમીક્ષા માટેની મુલાકાત ૫ નવેમ્બરે નક્કી થઈ છે. કૃપા કરીને દવાનું પેકેટ અને એ દિવસ વિશેની તમારી કોઈ પણ નોંધો સાથે લાવજો, જેમાં તમે દવા ક્યારે લીધી હતી અને લક્ષણો ક્યારે જણાયાં હતાં એ પણ હોય.
What an examiner checks here:
- Review booked for 5 November
- Bring medicine packaging
- Bring any notes about that day
- Notes to include when medicine was taken
- Notes to include when symptoms were noticed
Easy to miss: Keep the two separate timings: taking the medicine and noticing symptoms.
બરાબર, પાંચમી નવેમ્બરે હું પેકેટ અને મારી નોંધો લઈને આવીશ. દવા ક્યારે લીધી હતી એ પણ લખી રાખીશ. તમે અત્યારે શું નોંધ્યું છે એ મને વાંચી સંભળાવશો?
Model answer and marking points
All right, I'll bring the packaging and my notes on the fifth of November. I'll also write down when I took the medicine. Could you read out to me what you've recorded just now?
What an examiner checks here:
- Will attend on 5 November
- Will bring the packaging
- Will bring personal notes
- Will write down when the medicine was taken
- question: read aloud what has just been recorded?
Easy to miss: The patient asks for the current note to be read aloud.
I've noted nausea and dizziness lasting two hours, with no reported breathing difficulty. I've also flagged your request for review. Does that accurately reflect your account?
Model answer and marking points
મેં નોંધ્યું છે કે તમને બે કલાક સુધી ઉબકા અને ચક્કર આવ્યાં હતાં અને તમે શ્વાસ લેવામાં કોઈ તકલીફ થઈ હોવાનું જણાવ્યું નથી. સમીક્ષા માટેની તમારી વિનંતી પણ મેં ખાસ ચિહ્નિત કરી છે. શું આ તમારી વાતને બરાબર રજૂ કરે છે?
What an examiner checks here:
- Nausea recorded
- Dizziness recorded
- Symptoms lasted two hours
- No reported breathing difficulty
- Request for review flagged
- question: does the note accurately reflect the patient's account?
Easy to miss: Preserve 'no reported breathing difficulty' as part of the patient's account.
હા, એ બરાબર છે. મને ઉબકા અને ચક્કર જ આવ્યાં હતાં, શ્વાસની તકલીફ નહોતી. મારી વાત નોંધાઈ ગઈ એટલે હવે ડૉક્ટર સાથે આ વિશે વાત કરવામાં સરળતા રહેશે.
Model answer and marking points
Yes, that's correct. I only had nausea and dizziness, with no breathing difficulty. Now that my account has been recorded, it will be easier to discuss this with the doctor.
What an examiner checks here:
- Confirms the note is correct
- Only nausea and dizziness occurred
- No breathing difficulty
- Patient's account has been recorded
- Will now be easier to discuss this with the doctor
Easy to miss: The patient confirms that their account was recorded, not that the allergy warning was removed.
