Will my NHS pension affect my state pension?

Options
Quick question. My forecast when I get my state pension is £12600 based on my NI contributions come Nov 2027.
I am planning on transferring my DC pot into my NHS 2015 scheme having joined them 1 year ago at the age of 63.
Will this in any way mean I will receive a reduced state pension it appears that some people in the NHS do receive a smaller state pension, just a bit unclear on this?
I  would really appreciate this clarified as I certainly wouldn't want to have a reduced state pension having paid full NIs all of my life.

    No effect.  Those receiving a lower state pension is due to their pre 2016 NHS pension contracting them out of the second state pension.

    You can only transfer into the NHS scheme within the first year of NHS employment, get your skates on.
