Crossword Genius

Without exception, skill is seen in a certain hospital (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on earth

'without exception' is the definition.
(ie every example of something on Earth)

'skill is seen in a certain hospital' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'art' (both can mean a talent).
'is seen in' is an insertion indicator.
'a certain' becomes 'one' (ie one particular example of something).
'hospital' becomes 'h' (abbreviation for hospital on maps).
'one'+'h'='oneh'
'art' placed inside 'oneh' is 'ON EARTH'.

(Another definition for on earth that I've seen is " where you are".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
