David Barron Associate Professor in Organisational Sociology Oxford University |
| David Barron’s research is concerned with the sociology of organisations, quantitative research methods and social networks. His most recent work relates to the caring professions in the UK (including teaching, social work, nursing, medicine, child care, and nursing and care assistants). He has investigated issues that are of significant interest to the UK’s NHS, particularly in the wake of intense interest in the quality of nursing care; these include the impact of medical and nursing staffing levels on mortality rates and the impact of different methods of obtaining patient feedback on nursing behaviour. He has also investigated the earnings of caring professions and their relationship with professional or trade union organisations. Contact details | |
