I believe the answer is:

orderlies

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

'hospital workers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orderlies that I've seen before include "Solderer I join as soldiers who do errands for officers" , "Military or hospital attendants" , "Soldiers attending superior officers" , "Servants" , "Hospital attendants or soldiers working for officers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
