If they don't accept your referee, you will be asked to provide another one. This will delay the process.

Thanks very much for responding .
I have gone through the list it gives some examples of professions but states that refree must be of recognised profession ,
While it doesnt mention physio but do you think it is a recognised profession for refree ?

Thanks

The list is not exhaustive. If you have a person with recognised profession as depicted on the list the use such as referee.
If not, use the Physiotherapist, if not acceptable by HMPO they will inform you to provide another referee.
