Working as a future doctor from another country and getting GMC registration in UK with possible caution for ABH

Hi, so I will try to explain everything before asking my question.
Few months ago, my husband who is an alcoholic started getting abusive to me , insulting me and sometimes even being physically abusive.
I was trying to find an excuse for the man that I've been together for 13 years,but honestly things were escalating a lot when he was drinking, is like his whole behaviour changed and sometimes I couldn't even recognise him. So after a lot of arguments, when I was feeling like things were escalating( he threw some things on my leg, gettung physical and scaring me) and I couldn't take it anymore I called the police because we are not from the UK and I was scared and worried that something really bad is gonna happen.
That day, unfortunately it was my birthday and I spoke with someone from the police and they asked me if I want them to send someone just to visit us but honestly he was sleeping then and because of his execive drinking having some health problems with his liver, I said that they don't have to do that .

BuT next day we were having an argument again and I was crying and I was really upset and I was sitting on the sofa and he hit me on my leg, AT that moment iw as holding a hand cream and threw that NOT on him but on the sofa, and what he did , called the police and told them that I'm really upset and that I threw something at him and he has a bruice on his face( a bruice that he had from few days ago when he was in a bas trying to separate friends from getting into a fight.
So the police came, took me into the police station and questioned me, I told them that yes I threw the cream but not to him and without intention to harm him ,only because I got scared at the moment.
So , now they are still investigating and my solicitor told me they are looking to maybe give me a caution because even if I didn't hit him throwing a hand cream that you're holding when you're scared can be ana act of violence.
I'm a doctor, I don't work as a doctor yet and don't have GMC registration yet.

But I just want to know experience with someone ,possibly a doctor , with caution( I still don't have it at the moment,but maybe I will), getting GMC registration and getting a job as a doctor with caution.
I just want to know if with this I'm actually losing my future here and if there is a point for me staying in UK if I'm not gonna be able to work in healthcare ever.
Sorry for the long post , and thank you for your answer.

If you do accept a caution, then you would have to disclose it to the GMC as part of the application process, or if you've already applied you would have to tell them. They have guidance about this on their website here. The part about cautions starts at paragraph 15, and says that a caution doesn't mean to them that the offence happened, so they would investigate. You can tell them what you've been going through as they will ask you for your side of the story. You could argue that it was self-defence, as he had already hit you.
