Spokesperson to turn to medic (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spin doctor

'spokesperson' is the definition.
(spin doctor is a kind of spokesperson)

'turn to medic' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'spin' (spin is a kind of turn).
'to medic' becomes 'doctor' (I've seen this before).
'spin'+'doctor'='SPIN-DOCTOR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for spin doctor that I've seen before include "Supposed PR expert" , "spokesperson" , "Massager of news etc" , "Government communicator" , "Public relations expert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
