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

'professional pride' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'patient type is fast at work case' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'fast' is 'satf' which is located in the remaining letters.
'at' could be 'on' (location) and 'on' is found in the answer.
'work' could be 'job' (jobbing is a kind of working) and 'job' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'acti' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'bringing' is the link.
