MN1 Form referee question

[abyan]

Hi

I am applying MN1 for my UK born child and just got some confusion over professional referee. As it is mentioned in the guide and one referee should be a professional and should know the child in a professional capacity eg nurse or health visitor etc. I tried to get it done through a nurse and health visitor but they refused. So I have a friend who is a doctor and he is willing to sign the form but we are not sure about which capacity he knows the child. He is a family friend and that is reason he knows my son but this isn't professional capacity. Do you think this will be acceptable to the Home office and please share your own experience.

Thanks very much
Kash
