Pictures recently seen around hospital department, say (10)
I believe the answer is:
articulate
'say' is the definition.
(I know that say can be written as articulate)
'pictures recently seen around hospital department' is the wordplay.
'pictures' becomes 'art'.
'recently' becomes 'late' (of late).
'seen around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hospital department' becomes 'icu' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'art'+'late'='artlate'
'artlate' placed around 'icu' is 'ARTICULATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for articulate that I've seen before include "Clear and fluent in speech" , "Showing fluency 16 [OF SPEECH]" , "Well-constructed" , "Clearly stating view" , "say" .)
