11a
Number ahead in projection (5)

tenon

22a.....External course, first to last....?T?E?D.....I can only make attend.

You've given the letters for 27a, not 22d. The latter is OUTER

Sorry Chrise.....coffee hasn't kicked in yet !

27a....Thanks returned by nurse ? Listen.....attend ?

re 27a; If this is the clue you mean, yes "attend" is correct.
attend = listen (def)
at - ta reversed
tend- nurse

22ad: is outer = extermnal (def)
route- course
with the r placed at the end

Thanks everybody....sorry for the confusion !

Last one !

1d....Derided medium, shaken ? Not right....M?C?E?

I presume that the answer is MOCKED, but could someone help with the parsing please !

M - medium
shaken (not right) - (r)OCKED

mocked - derided

Yes. I didn't like this one. It's M for "medium" (size, perhaps?) and (r)OCKED
