- The object of the Sims-Woodhead Medal is to recognise those who have made an outstanding contribution to the Journal.
- The Sims-Woodhead Medal shall only be awarded on those occasions when a deserving recipient can be identified.
- Nominations will be made in the form of a 500 word citation to the Editor in Chief and may be made at any time.
- A notice soliciting nominations for the Sims-Woodhead Medal shall be placed in the Journal, and in communications from the Pathological Society.
- The award of the Sims-Woodhead Medal shall be made by the Journal of Pathology Editorial Committee.
