Doctor Jones meeting old boy in surgery (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nosejob

'surgery' is the definition.

'doctor jones meeting old boy' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'old boy' becomes 'ob'.
'jones' anagrammed gives 'nosej'.
'nosej'+'ob'='NOSEJOB'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for nosejob that I've seen is " prominent surgical work".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
