An apparatus for the correction of misalignment of a piece of oilfield equipment within a rotating control device, comprising: a misalignment correction device, wherein part of the piece of oilfield equipment is located within the misalignment correction device; a spherical shoulder on a first surface of the misalignment correction device; a socket defined on a second surface of the misalignment correction device, wherein the socket is configured to engage the spherical shoulder; characterised by: an annular space between the first surface and the second surface; one or more plates having an interior surface and an exterior surface within the misalignment correction device, wherein the second surface upon which the socket is defined is the interior surface of the one or more plates; wherein the plates include a key which is configured to engage a slot defined on the spherical shoulder; a floating joint, wherein said floating joint is configured to shift radially to compensate for horizontal misalignment between the RCD and the piece of oilfield equipment; a carrier configured to house the one or more plates and the floating joint; a chamber defined within the carrier and located adjacent to the exterior surface of the one or more plates, wherein the one or more plates are configured to move in and out of the chamber in response to the horizontal misalignment between the RCD and the piece of oilfield equipment; a thrust bearing adjacent to the one or more plates; a sealing element having an internal diameter and an external diameter, wherein the internal diameter is configured to seal against the piece of oilfield equipment; and a pressure reduction system within the carrier, wherein the pressure reduction system further comprises a piston assembly configured to reduce a wellbore pressure to a reduced pressure experienced by the external diameter of the sealing element. a misalignment correction device, wherein part of the piece of oilfield equipment is located within the misalignment correction device; a spherical shoulder on a first surface of the misalignment correction device; a socket defined on a second surface of the misalignment correction device, wherein the socket is configured to engage the spherical shoulder;
