Use your current address. Or a future address you are moving to shortly.
Note that all correspondence is now via email
The address your GP hold is irrelevant for the application.
The full instructions:
"For an adult application, one referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing, eg minister of religion, civil servant, or a member of a professional body e.g. accountant or solicitor (who is not representing you with this application).
For all applications, the second referee must normally be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25. "
