obstetric

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concerned with delivery' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'best trio organised by top conductor' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'top' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'conductor' is 'c'.
'best'+'trio'='besttrio'
'besttrio' anagrammed gives 'obstetri'.
'obstetri'+'c'='OBSTETRIC'
