TC the Course of Treatment (process it as complete).
When prompted "Do you wish to continue with this care pathway?", select No.
Select a Reason for discontinuing the care pathway (compulsory).
Click OK.
When prompted, send the FP17 Form as normal.
The items that have been completed are moved to history.
Items that are not completed show on the Misc tab:
