'hotshots?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'mobilised carers welcome hospital' is the wordplay.
'mobilised' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'welcome' means one lot of letters goes inside another (in sense of 'inviting in').
'hospital' becomes 'h'.
'carers' is an anagram of 'arcers'.
'arcers' placed around 'h' is 'ARCHERS'.
