William Sands Cox (1802-1875) was a surgeon in Birmingham. He founded Birmingham's first medical school in 1828 as a residential Anglican-based college in Temple Row, and in Brittle Street (now obliterated by Snow Hill station). Cox went on to found the Queen's Hospital in Bath Row as a practical resource for his medical students.
From 1828 two medals were awarded annually.
