Hat tip to CotterHue on twitter - Hospital English has a lot of resources for teachers and learners in EAP. I don’t need it, but I’m sure many teachers could use this resource.

I host medical vocabulary builders, patient counseling activities, disease state directors, healthcare professional articles, medical flashcards, hospital lesson plans, ESP worksheets and more to come.
