An expert in safe delivery? (7)
I believe the answer is:
midwife
'an expert in safe delivery?' is the definition.
(as in delivering babies)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for midwife that I've seen before include "One helping with delivery" , "Nurse at birth" , "Obstetrics nurse" , "Childbirth helper" , "One assisting with birth" .)
