GP and doctors cannot be referees. You can use a dentist though. Not sure why this is the case.

Are u sure that GP's can not be used as professional referees? I know some one who has successfully used his GP as professional reference.

I used GP and one of family friend for my child application as referees and never had any problem.
Though, GPs are not on list,but as far as I know, they are acceptable to UKVI as I know few others who used them as a referee and had no problem.
