In 1948, five Fellows of the College who had won the Hallett Prize on the Primary Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England gave £30 each to create a fund, the interest from which would provide a prize to be awarded in connection with the Primary Examination of the College and to be named in honour of Sir Gordon Gordon-Taylor.
The five were:
- J S McMahon
- R S Lawson
- H H Eddey
- K W Starr
- Grayton Brown.
In subsequent years, other Fellows that also won the Hallett Prize have donated to the fund: R P Melville, C B R Mann, W J Cook, B J Dooley, J N Yelland, G Anderson and L A Riddell.
If two or more candidates are found to have been allocated the same mark, it shall be open to the examiners to take such steps as they may think desirable to enable them to adjudicate the matter.
This prize, a bronze medal, is awarded each year to the candidate who gains the highest marks in each of the Generic Surgical Sciences Examinations.
