The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has announced it will move to a temporary home in Aldgate from May 11 for a period of six to eight weeks. The professional body's move is due to a revision in the completion date for the refurbishment of its new site at 66 East Smithfield.

Sid Dajani, RPS treasurer and chairman of the RPS relocation board, commented: "My absolute priority is making sure the RPS remains focused on delivering services to our members who provide essential care to both patients and the public on a daily basis. That’s why we have taken the decision to remove any risk to business continuity by temporarily relocating to Aldgate. This will ensure we continue to provide the consistent service that our members and customers of Pharmaceutical Press expect."
