dribbling

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

'running slowly' is the definition.
'dribbling' can be an answer for 'running' (dribbling is a kind of running). I am not certain of the 'slowly' bit.

'doctor one born british meets heather' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'born british' becomes 'bb' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'meets' says to put letters next to each other.
'heather' becomes 'ling' (synonyms).
'dr'+'i'+'bb'+'ling'='DRIBBLING'
