The medal was designed and produced by sculptor William Bloye of the Birmingham School of Art and presented to the BAUS in 1948 by Bernard Joseph Ward, the BAUS's first vice-president. The first medal was awarded in 1949 to J. B. Macalpine who was the first to report bladder cancers associated with the dye industry. St Peter on the medal is distinguished from other Saints by a key engraved on the bible that he holds. On the reverse appears a laurel wreath within which the recipient's name is engraved, and around the circumference appear the names of Edwin Hurry Fenwick, Peter Freyer and John Thomson-Walker. The  die for the medal was presented to the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) in 1948 by Bernard Joseph Ward, the BAUS's first vice-president and urologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The first medal was awarded in 1949 to J. B. Macalpine who first reported bladder cancers associated with the dye industry. It has subsequently been awarded annually by the BAUS, usually to one recipient, apart from 1951, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2014, in each of which years there were two recipients. The medal is engraved with the names of the three teachers who influenced Bernard Ward: Edwin Hurry Fenwick, Peter Freyer and John Thomson-Walker. On presenting the medal in 1948, Ward stated in his speech that "although they were individually attached to other hospitals, they all came together in one hospital, St. Peter’s; and the suggestion therefore was that in order to honour all three of them, we should call it the St. Peter's Medal. The hospital, the first urological hospital in Britain, was named after Saint Peter, Latin petrus for rock,  who was said by Christ to be the foundation upon which the Christian church was to be constructed. St Peter on the medal is distinguished from other Saints by a key engraved on the bible that he holds. On the reverse appears a laurel wreath, within which the recipient's name is engraved, and around the wreath appear the names of Fenwick, Freyer and Thomson-Walker. Recipients A year after the first award, Ronald Ogier Ward , and Terence J. Millin both won the medal in the same year . In 1959 the medal was awarded to Harold H. Hopkins, a physicist, and in 2006 by Alison Brading, a physiologist. Other recipients have included Sir Michael Woodruff, Richard Turner-Warwick, John Wickham, Geoffrey Chisholm, John M. Fitzpatrick, Roger Kirby and Prokar Dasgupta.
