flat

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

'where the nurses might be sharing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'uplifting part of the hospital faculty' is the wordplay.
'uplifting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'talf' is hidden in the letters of 'the hospital faculty'.
'talf' reversed gives 'FLAT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
