Manage to be upstanding and celebrate work in the NHS? (7)
I believe the answer is:
nursing
'work in the nhs?' is the definition.
'nursing' can be an answer for 'work' (nursing is a kind of work). I'm unsure of the 'in the nhs?' bit.
'manage to be upstanding and celebrate' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'to be upstanding' is a reversal indicator.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'celebrate' becomes 'sing' (as in to sing someone's praises).
'run' in reverse letter order is 'nur'.
'nur'+'sing'='NURSING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nursing that I've seen before include "Tending (patients)" , "now a graduate profession" , "Feeding baby" , "Medical vocation" , "Caring career" .)
