Hiya Phil, unfortunately the Linx is not available on NHS.
Its a pretty new innovation so its only available privately and its quite expensive aswell. I looked into it a few years ago before I had Nissen Fundoplication done and it was round £9000 for the operation alone then you would need all the preop testing beforehand.
You need to have a normal motility or swallow for the linx and I think no herniation of the stomach.
Sounds a great solution to reflux as theres less invasive surgery but the cost!
You can contact TORAXMEDICAL for some info maybe they could give you some advice and who carries out the operation.Maybe some NHS surgeons do the op now.
