private practice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tommy's training?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'tommy's training?' is the wordplay.
'tommy' becomes 'private' (informal term for a British soldier).
'training?' becomes 'practice' (practice is a kind of training).
'private'+'practice'='PRIVATE PRACTICE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for private practice that I've seen before include "no NHS concern" , "professionally lucrative?" , "Basic army training" .)
