In the case of Perry v Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Ms Perry worked part-time for two different employers, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (Imperial) and Ealing Primary Care Trust (Ealing).

Her job for Imperial was as a community midwife, and involved cycling to patients’ homes and sometimes climbing stairs in high-rise buildings. Due to a knee condition, she was signed off work and received sick pay including statutory sick pay. However, she carried on with her Ealing job, which was desk-based and therefore not affected by her knee condition. This job was carried out on Monday evenings, and not during the hours she would otherwise have been working for Imperial.
