Getting to doctor in charge (8)
I believe the answer is:
reaching
'getting to' is the definition.
('reach' can be a synonym of 'get to')
'doctor in charge' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'charge'='incharge'
'incharge' anagrammed gives 'REACHING'.
(Other definitions for reaching that I've seen before include "Arriving at a place" , "Connecting" , "Contacting" , "Arriving at, attaining" , "Arriving at a destination or a goal" .)
