I used VoiceOver on a MacBook to navigate (using a keyboard) the Boots appointment booking journey.

Findings:

• It wasn’t possible to select a date or time for an appointment
• You can tab onto the dates but you can’t select a date
• You can’t tab onto and select a time
• You can't select the arrow to view more dates
• When I did select a date with my mouse, it didn’t alert me of what times (if any) were available. I would expect it to tell me how many appointments were available on that day and allow me to select a time if available.

Date picker on booksy.com is also not accessible. You can't select a date or time using a keyboard.
