Professor Rigby has held professorial posts in the UK, Ireland, and Sweden and has extensive experience in health service development and delivery, and in research into health policy and management.

His particular areas of interest are preventative services, child health, mental health, and integrated care, and he has undertaken projects with the WHO, European Commission, OECD, and European Science Foundation.

Professor Rigby has written extensively on health research and policy, and health information systems. He has co-edited a number of books, most recently on Evidence Based Health Informatics and on Primary Health Care for Children in Europe.
