Can a filtered caution affect my pharmacy career?

Basically a while ago an incident occurred between me and a member of the public where I shoved someone and slapped their arm. They called the police and it got blown out of proportion in my opinion because I did not violently attack them or anything, but I had to spend a night in cell and basically they told me I have court next month and I’m gonna receive a fine or a caution. Because of the low level nature of the crime the caution will be filtered from standard DBS checks in 6 years (if I get a caution), so a year after I finished uni, and on the gphc website it says I don’t have to declare filtered cautions. But does this mean it won’t affect me? I’m really worried because I don’t want my career ruined for shoving someone.
