Princess Anne has returned to Southmead Hospital, where she spent five days as a patient last summer following a minor head injury.
The Princess Royal toured the hospital facilities and met with doctors, nurses and health professionals during her visit.
Her previous stay at the hospital came after what Buckingham Palace described as "an incident on the Gatcombe Park estate" which left her with minor injuries and a concussion.
During her tour, Princess Anne visited the hospital's Intensive Care Unit and spoke with staff about their work.
The Princess Royal also watched a performance by the staff choir in the main public atrium.
Her visit included viewing the Air Ambulance Helicopter pad and staff garden, completing a comprehensive tour of the facilities.
In January, Princess Anne revealed she still has no memory of the serious horse accident that left her hospitalised last June, stating that "every day is a bonus".
Speaking publicly about the incident for the first time during a visit to South Africa, the Princess Royal made several candid admissions.
The exact circumstances of the accident remain unknown, as there were no witnesses to the incident.
The Princess Royal reflected on the severity of her accident, saying: "It just reminds you, shows you - you never quite know, something (happens) and you might not recover."
When asked about lasting effects, she joked: "Apparently not, at least I don't think so. As far as I know nobody else thinks so - (or) they haven't been honest enough to tell me yet."
Southmead Hospital is one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK, with more than 13,000 staff members.
The trust delivers healthcare across multiple locations, including Southmead Hospital, Cossham Hospital, and Bristol Centre for Enablement.
