Services, appointments, treatments and emergencies will be - hopefully - getting back to normal at Southmead Hospital in north Bristol today, 24 hours after a bomb hoax that sparked dramatic scenes.
One man is still in police custody as hospital staff and the public were praised by bosses at the North Bristol NHS Trust for their quick thinking and patience in dealing with what was declared a major incident.
The drama began mid-morning. The exact details of what happened in the Accident and Emergency department are unconfirmed at the moment, but it focussed on a man who walked into the A&E reception area.
