Many hospitals and trusts in the UK produce their own local
guidance, regarding what medicines should be given to patients
before and after operations (perioperative medication). Policy is
buried in PDF documents and academic papers, which combine
descriptions of drug properties with factors that might result in
different advice to different patients. Your task is to create a
system that can automatically extract and compare a wide range
of such advice, presenting it in a form such that clinicians can
draw on both best practice and individual factors when advising
a specific patient.
