Thanks everyone, I wouldn't have got those in a million years! Can now see how to arrive at those answers. But have gone wrong on 7 down:

Only clues solved with trainee eye (7)
???L?U?
Must be an anagram of 'clues' in there somewhere...
nucleus
Question Author
Had nucleus in there, but have just tippex-ed out! Doesn't fit in with 'prescient' going down.
prescient is definitely right - now = PRESENT, carbon iodine = C I => PRES c i ENT

which letter from that intersects 7d?

(i put nucleus because i'm in a bit of meh mood at the moment)
Question Author
The 'C' of PRESCIENT is the second letter of 7d, so...

?C?L?U?

Question Author
Ah, yes (extra 'L' for learner - trainee). Thanks for all your help. I've learned some new words and finished the crossword, so not a bad night's work!
Question Author
Darn! Just spotted one last clue to complete...
