Clinical guidelines are documents laying out specific diagnosis and treatment procedures and the project aims to facilitate doctors browsing and creating guidelines about Covid-19 for their hospital in an environment with quickly updating information and policies. Our effort is part of a larger UK-government funded project including partners in Natural Language Processing (NLP), the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary <https://www.nhslothian.scot/GoingToHospital/Locations/RIE/Pages/default.aspx>, and the Roslin Institute <https://www.ed.ac.uk/roslin>.
