Medical officer Una carries special tent for Italian peak (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mount etna

'italian peak' is the definition.
(mountain in Italy)

'medical officer una carries special tent' is the wordplay.
'medical officer' becomes 'MO' (abbreviation).
'carries' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters carried inside).
'special' is an anagram indicator.
'tent' with letters rearranged gives 'ntet'.
'una' going around 'ntet' is 'untetna'.
'mo'+'untetna'='MOUNT ETNA'

'for' is the link.
