Bristol's 'super' hospital open for business
The new 'super' hospital at Southmead in Bristol is fully operational today. The Brunel building has been a decade in the planning, and cost £430 million.
Southmead's "super" hospital is officially open
Bristol's £430 million Southmead hospital officially opened today. As well as combining specialist medical services on one site it also contains the regional trauma centre and adult burns unit.
It promises to revolutionise care in North Bristol.
However the move - which has been happening over the past month - hasn't got off to the best start with 180 operations being postponed because only a third of the theatres were working. There is also continued criticism over the number of parking spaces on site.
